Urban Werewolves

Seattle, Washington where several werewolf packs live.

Slipping through the urban zones

A perfect stalking ground of concrete and steel

They come like black ghostly shadows

The city streets are cold and inhumane

But icy are the hearts of humanity

Who love to give but can’t take pain

 

Hunger drives with powerful need

The urban werewolf packs come out

At dusk they stalk, kill and feed

Their hearts as cold as those they consume

Who misses the few who disappear

Humanity is blissfully unaware of this doom

 

The city under storm clouds or sun

The werewolves are here feeding

They thrive in these urban zones

Always watching and always waiting

Their howls echo over the city but are ignored

From their red hungry stare there is no escaping

 

Werewolf packs hunt the parks and city streets

They pass through neighborhoods and backyards

They peer into windows seeking what they need

Their endless hunger driving them forth

When you see them know it’s too late

You’ve just become their main course

I live in the heart of the city. I have for quite a few years. I'm covinced this is the setting that would be perfect for vampires and werewolves. People are so disconnected with each other, you could go days without being missed. Perfect environment for these events. Awesome poem.

This poem reminds me of many things. Drug addict that will do anything to get their fix or people who thrive on giving pain. The imagery is a dark bloody one. Love the story line with the urban werewolves.

This is cool, Its not as discriptive as your usual work, The Werewolves didnt get much recognition, not as much as the urban, landscape... I really like it though

[Star Wolf]

Wow, scary. I'm going to be looking for them next time I go out, but yet, maybe not. This is spooky, one awesome write.

[Black Cat Fever]

Very dark and chilling. I'll be on the lookout for these pack of werewolves in the urban zone where I work. Love how realistic this feels. Impressive write.
