Beastly

Scratches…tapping windowpane,
Tis it sounds of dreary rain?
Twas that menacing grisly grin
Beyond panel's sinister din?

Chuckles for paranoid scare,
Dream...or nightmare
Just branches scrape glass,
This storm soon shall pass.

Methinks refuge twixt stonewalls
Eerie howl… skin crawls.
Fangs gnarly, gnash,
Images vivid of skin slash.

Canines render, sinewy flesh
Rabid bloodlust spilt fresh
Awaken to crunching intones,
Hysterical shrieks…tis MY bones.
