Wolf Moon

Slam poetry for Halloween

The safest place for you is when the sun’s out.

When the full moon arrives my werewolf comes out.

Sending every bit of my humanity into extinction.

When it’s hairy and hungry it makes no distinction.

Trying to keep my inner wolf away is round the clock fight.

Oh how I dread the full moon on a clear night.

Underneath my exterior lies a shameless beast.

I wish there was a way for me to tame this beast.

You might want to get away because it’s coming soon.

No one is safe from harm in the night of a werewolf moon.
