    Poem Commentary

    In the month of June in the year 1816, the year with out a summer, Lord Byron, John Palidori, Percy and Mary Shelly, and Claire Clairmont. Gathered near Lake Geneva, and told tales of horror to entertain one another over the course of three days of rain. From these tales many of the horror stories we have enjoyed were born.

    three days in June

    twas a gathering of friends

    no summer that year

    Lac Leman, shrouded in rain

    in spine chilling parlor

    horrors were shared

    blood letting undead's

    human tissue 's rebirth

    tales of woe, did spread

    creeping across the channeled shore

    on a gray and misting night

    legends grew of poetic prose

    the pond held, the mist no more

    from horrors shared

    with friends of yore

    have alas come ashore

    Great stuff! Just think; if this convocation had never taken place, the world would never have had the classic "Jesse James meets Frankenstein's Daughter" ha ha

    so many characters where born over that three days or as a result of the knowledge that such great poets, could also write about horror.

    Your poem is rich with description, specifically describing how the nightmares came to shore... in the tales of the writers.
