    Bah. I want to post a poem here, I really do. But I've never made poetry.  Still, I'll see if I can whip something up.

     It's too late for that now! Ah well, you put it here; that's good enough.

    Time for something a bit unique: a haiku! Without further ado...

    The blood of Hircine,

    Both curse and blessing alike,

    Gifted unto me.

    Ok, so after the haiku, I managed to create a more 'traditional' poem. This is literally my first poem, ever, so bear with me if it sucks.  Without further ado...

    I have seen the Bloodmoon rising,

    As werewolves howl and maim.

    The pack's song of howling,

    Echoing without aim.

    I have run through reddened night,

    Leaving my camp behind.

    Irrefutable, terrible fright,

    Rampaging through my mind.

    I have seen the sanguine flow,

    As flashing fangs sunder my flesh.

    The prey captured and brought low—

    And yet now I feel bravery afresh.

    I have slashed with hidden blade—

    The monster's life waning.

    And as I escaped that damned glade,

    I had felt my terror fading.

    But I have seen the Bloodmoon rising,

    As werewolves howl and maim.

    My newfound song of howling,

    Echoing without aim.

    Thanks, Sotek! I had posted this mostly for advice on how to fix it- didn't actually expect it'd be good. Once again, my horribly cruel self-deprecation strikes again. 


    Seriously though, thanks.

    The bit that struck me was the catch at the end when he recieves the blessing of the beast. (Not infected)
