This is my first post to this forum, so let me say Hi there

I usually post in teen or open, but I decided that this would be better suited to this forum, so here it is

Enjoy!

Death springs eternal,
Spawning beast infernal.
Blood long since cold,
Skin rotting and old.

Doomed to stalk the night,
Hidden from the light.
Lumbering along at morbid pace,
Lurching away from life's disgrace.

Conjured forth from Wizard's spell.
Presence known by putrid smell.
Leaving death in its wake,
Seeking only life to take.

Limping blindly through the mud.
Wanting only living blood.
From graveyard this foul beast came.
Zombie be it's only name.

I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion

This one will do perfectly Travis, I’ll post my reply ASAP in the Teen Mentor lounge otherwise people will string me up for being too critical!

Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool:
But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet.

Very good Mistikman..though now that you have a Mentor, you'll have this rewritten into a Classic in no time! I look forward to following your progression...

Craig- thanks, my response follows yours in the mentor lounge.

Poet deVine- Thanks, and I sure hope so

Danni- Thank you for being the first regular of this forum to respond to my work. I was very anxious about posting to this forum, as I have not posted extensive amounts of replies as I have to the other forums I respond to. I was afraid because I am not new to passions and my name is largely unknown in this forum that I would be completely overlooked. Until you posted, I thought I was

Thank you again.

Now this is great work, Mistikman. I certainly hope you will entertain us here in the Dark with more of your work. I love this kind of stuff, I think it appeals to the werewolf in me.
