Tanka #16

MoonlitSky1

 ~ marbled moonlit scape ~
Lupine snout pointed skyward,
words lost to howling
beneath slow-parting cloudlets,
the man transforms to werewolf.

    1. Wow, I made you shiver! Wolves are wonderful creatures, although once, when I had a high fever as a child, I had a terrifying hallucination involving one. It was sitting by my bed, ready to pounce. I could even hear it panting and growling in its throat and smell its breath.

      The thought of my husband evolving into a werewolf at full moon is definitely not one of my fantasies, even if he did look like Hugh Jackman in his human form!
