1. The Banished Howl by Nagini Riddle

The Banished Howl

A monster crying blood finite, exits life on unknown roads,
Slowly shying from the pride of man, joint will corrodes.

Stones like dry tinder, vile words slash exposed souls;
Scattered qualms of cracked mirrors reflect demented skulls.

Daring to live with tainted veins, sights no longer set on mercy,
Frozen in a stagnant shadow, never strong, existing weakly.

Faces swept aside, shunned from a pure, peaceful world desire;
Flames scorch and sear mistrust; the moon, silver-grey, filled with ire.

*Just want to say that I whole-heartedly support werewolves, especially Remus Lupin, because I understand what it's like to be shunned and stereotyped and made out to be bad when you are really not. Werewolves! :)*

End Notes:

Well, this was an attempt at meter and rhyme. How'd I do? Come on, don't be shy! I honestly don't bite, even if I do have fangs... :P
