Author's Note- Poetry isn't really my thing. I did this in school before it ended during our poetry unit. It's not brilliant. I appreciate reviews, as always.

Summary- ONE SHOT- This is a poem about the night Remus Lupin was bit by a werewolf. It is written in first person. It starts out much later on a full moon and goes back to the memory of the night it actually happened.


Werewolf

By MalusMagus

Howling through the night

Underneath the moon so bright

Could it be?

Is it just me?

I wonder frightfully

I was seven when it happened

Walking down the moonlit path

I heard growling in the distance

And wondered vaguely what it was

I quickened my pace

Unknowingly about to look death in the face

I felt the ground quiver

There was a bounding something far beyond

It made me shiver

The shape came closer

Moving up then down, left and right

It bared its teeth at the night

Then it caught sight of me

I had the feeling I should flee

I turned and ran as it gave chase

It was faster and it caught up

Scared, I was as I fell down

That thing, it bit me

I know now

Werewolf


Author's Note- Not too much, but it was something that I felt I could post, so I did. Feel free to review. Keep in mind that this is my first time posting poetry. I know it's not spectacular. Flames are to be use for heating my room when I'm chilly, thank you very much.
