Overall I liked this horror poem. I don't really understand why you never used periods in the poem and capitalized each beginning line. I think some periods would make sense in the flow of the poem. For the most part I liked the flow. This one section doesn't seem to flow right for me and is throwing me off.

Your throat be eaten, you be dead

This is a very well written horror entry on the classic werewolf tale. you do a good job building suspense just with the man transformation into he wolf, along with his initial reluctance and resistance to the change, he could not control. Good presentation too.

Graphically horrific--vivid imagery trail of red--throat torn apart with "gristle dripping from jaws"--spot-on for the contest theme--as regards hyphenated words--to cover yourself, state in notes that you are counting it as a single word--hopefully the judges will accept it.

Thanks for your review and advice. Microsoft Word counted the hyphenated word as a single but I will do as you suggested.

Word always counts those as one, but not sure if the judges do!

oooohhhhh..... yes, this is gruesome and horrific! Your rhyming and rhythm carry this along in a graphic portrayal of the werewolf to frighten the reader,.
(Sounds like you need a stronger chain and a better razor.)

I never tire of werewolf tales. Good descriptionoftheSpeaker's transformation in stanzas 1 and 2. Then we can easily visualize his brutal attack on the unwary. The horror comes through vividly in your details.

On point. The subject is definitely in sync with the rules. The story line of the poem moves smoothly to conclusion. The final line is neat, always good to end with cautionary statement. Word choice is good.
A horrific read, in the best sense. Thanks for sharing. Good luck.

Your poem elicited fear and fulfilled the requirement of the contest. Seriously I was scared and wanted to know who the person was until I confirmed it was a contest. Hahahaha! A well delivered poetic piece. Wishing you good luck in he contest.
