The Werewolf

Angry fire
spitting and hissing
It transforms me.

A creature
within me
howls and roars
like a mighty beast
unleashed,
it’s hard to tame.

This raging
animal
takes over
and I am
a werewolf.

The burning fury
that creates
this beast
is powerful
it’s horrendous
it’s the worst
part of me.

When this burning
fire that sickens
takes over,
I’m a monster
I transform
and I roar
and I howl….

Like a werewolf
I can be.

The Werewolf by

Well, this is another poem about anger. I don’t know why I find it so easy to write about anger, maybe because it’s such a powerful emotion. Also, I promised colorblind I would post this poem…he likes werewolves. :)

    some inner anger you need to let out erika ? its ok i think you should just let it out….
    because this is one poem of anger… but the anger isnt pouring out here
    i dont think you are letting your anger bleed out here, its just being described story like
    do you know what i mean ? i wanna see you REALLY let your anger out in words

    :0~~~aaaaaAAAAHHHHHH

    like that

  • haha! I see what you mean. Well, truth is I don’t like being angry. I wrote this one a few months ago, and I still remember the day I wrote it. I was so angry that day, and I really wanted to describe how it was, how I felt. But if I were to let my anger out in words, like you said, I’d probably never stop.

    Fine poetry Erika, anger will never be easy and here youhave descrbed it well, in sharing anger perhaps one is always asking how far can i safely go – anger can be very private and its a matter of, in terms of feeling, just share what you can. This is certainly great writing

  • Thank you so much George. I really enjoy reading your comments. And yes, I agree, anger can be very private. I like your insight. Thank you for reading. :)

    expressed anger connected to a hope for something better is a positive force I was told ……. :)

  • Such a thought provoking comment. It makes sense though. Anger is such a powerful emotion and if used for a good cause or positively then it can bring about good results. Thank you annamora. :)

    Not at all. Its fantastic. I always feel the most inspired to write when I’m angry. Rather worrying but hey… :)

  • No, I agree….it makes you just want to pour everything out. I get really inspired when I’m feeling negative emotions.
