Thumbnail Moon

Ray  of Night Contest, Prompt 3

Thumbnail moon,
shining bright
through the trees
lights the night.

Dance of death
neath the moon
lighting evil
coming soon.

Rush of wind,
hooting owls.
In the woods
eerie howls.

Loup-garou;
urge to feed.
Stalking prey;
blood his need.

Shifting shapes.
Spell is cast.
Enraged now;
coming fast.

Gnashing teeth,
yellow eyes,
fetid breath,
wolfish guise.

Lycanthropy,
Myth or fact?
Is it real,
Or just an act?

Come tonight.
Dance with me.
Man or beast?
you will see.

If you dare
to be brave,
you will rest
in your grave.
