Feb 2022 paintcardchallenge fantasy dark
During a time long ago, lain upon us a curse
With it came a hunger increased
And for a night where humanity has ceased
Our lives made all the worse
When the darkness falls
And the ball of silver is high
Up in the cold sky
We are helpless to the calls
We become restless at noon
When our skin starts to itch
And the inner beast is a bitch
Waiting for us to howl at the moon
We are driven by the smell of meat
Always waiting to hunt
Blood lust at the forefront
And ready to eat
But blood isn't the only lust
Bare the teeth for a mating fight
Ready for a chance to bit
Or waiting to thrust
We become restless at noon
When our skin starts to itch
And the inner beast is a bitch
Waiting for us to howl at the moon
During a time long ago, lain upon us a curse
With it came a hunger increased
And for a night where humanity has ceased
Our lives made all the worse
When the darkness falls
And the ball of silver is high
Up in the cold sky
We are helpless to the calls
We become restless at noon
When our skin starts to itch
And the inner beast is a bitch
Waiting for us to howl at the moon
We become restless at noon
When our skin starts to itch
And the inner beast is a bitch
Waiting for us to howl at the moon

This is fantastic. You really are amazing at expressing ideas poetically.

Great great chorus! Love "the inner beast is a bitch." Compelling and terrifying narrative. Love the imagery here!

WOW...this is a great write!! Love your take on this paint card title, such great descriptors and that chorus and rhymes...this is one of your best of the challenges....I think this title took you somewhere, a story in your mind and the double meaning of it....this is amazing and so glad you keep challenging yourself!!! I am behind in my commenting so that I could finish my FAWM, so I will get back around to the challenges.......I enjoyed this!!
