Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

I know where the wild things roam
Scratching and sniffing in the dark
Through skeletal trees waiting eyes spark
As if in recognition.

I know where the wild things roam
Paws softly pad while shadows dance
A solitary figure frozen in statuesque trance
Feeding on darkness.

I know where the wild things roam
Catching a glimpse of white fang bared
Blood lust sated, ravaging without any care
Wary body poised

I know where the wild things roam
Filling my nightmares with stalking gait
Every sense I have ravaged by depth of hate
Challenges silently made

I know where the wild things roam
They dance a mocking dance inside my head
Taunting songs to fill my mind with dread
Primal invitation

I know where the wild things roam
I move though fall foliage with spear in hand
Led by instinctual need I barely understand
Internal war rages

I know where the wild things roam
Each battle fought brings me closer to home
The cry of defeat rings through my bones
Victorious I am  …

Thank you both.

Not sure about this poem ... I started to change it and then left it alone.

It just speaks to me in some way.  Not sure if I like what it says though.
