This meets the contest requirements splendidly. It progresses along well and at a good pace which mirrors the speed of the meter when read aloud. The rhyme is well executed throughout. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you very much for sharing it.

I loved it and really enjoyed how you assembled all the classic monster. The words you chose were easy to understand the story was fun and made sense. A nice change from all the romance and real life poems you normally see on here.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Heh-heh..."It was a dark and stormy night...", the one phrase any editor worth his salt will tell you never to use to begin any horror story.
This was a very well rhymed poem you've created for your own contest, Brett. You've utilized the Universal "BIG THREE" of horror monsters to great effect here--Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and, of course, Dracula. And what a motley crew they must've made, 'ey?
Being an avid horror aficionado myself, I caught onto and appreciated many of the references to those classic "oldies-but-goodies".
Well done, and good luck to you.

And the master Horror Writer on this site just did tell me not to start a story like that. See, I learn something new from you all the time. I intentionally used only 9 syllables per line in writing this. Wanted to keep the flow smooth. Not required in writing Country lyrics because you can catch up with instrumentation that you can't do in printed words. Wolfie had to win the war. He is still my favorite, and wolves are my all-time favorite animals. Glad you enjoyed this. Means a lot to me as you know. For a contest entry, hey, we shall see.

The wolfman is my fave too, Brett. I am watching An American Werewolf in London as we speak, right this minute.
You're very welcome, and good luck.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Well written horror poem with good rhyming couplets. Indeed this is a lesson in 'who can you trust to be your friend'. You have included two of the principal characters of horror and in the end they were beaten by a Wolf - a good story well told. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

So the wolf wins??
A delightful poem with references to our current popular mythology. I could conjure up the images that you intended to convey. Enjoyed it, might be the new kind of poetry.

Comment from Jackarrie
this is a brilliant poem, I am not a horror fan, but I really enjoyed this one. The abab rhyme and he flow of the whole poem/story is intriguing, I wish you the best of luck in the contest.
Three of them plotted their evil plan
It'd be the envy of any man
They would howl, and bite, and rip apart
Every living soul that had a heart
Well done a six for this one.

Glad you enjoyed this little poem/story. Kept it fairly simple since I wanted this to be a fun contest when I created it. Appreciate your comments, support, and especially the 6-Stars.
Comment from Bill Schott
This was a fun romp with the Big Three of horror monsters, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and Frankenstein's monster. It never got serious, but stayed true to the idea of a fun outing turned massacre. (We can do it all again next year).

And maybe they will do just that too. This may not be a "wrap". Glad you enjoyed this little poem. I always appreciate your comments and support.
Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
As a fantasy writer, I especially love your poem. What a team they must have made, but as there is no honor among thieves...Who would have thought of the three of them as a crew? Good luck on the contest!

Honor among thieves only last so long as Frankenstein and Drac learned the hard way. As always happens in that situation. Appreciate your comments and support.
