Becoming Man
(Were-Man)
Running.
The wolf is running.
Night is turning into day.
It runs on all fours
through the thick brush.
Running,
never really knowing why.
There is no use running.
Howling!
Crying to the fading night.
It is slipping away again!
It can feel the process begin.
It does not want to become this monster!
Snarling becoming coherent.
Changing
Growing
Standing!
It was running.
Now you run
for it is man.

I like the order change here, nicely executed. And I think Man is more of a beast to be honest. Well done Michael

I like the order change too with man being the beast. Says so much from a wolf's point of view.

I think because the site is now not add free, we can no longer download pictures, we have to use a hosting site

I think because the site is now not add free, we can no longer download pictures, we have to use a hosting site This is not true about the advertising interferring with downloading pictures. Paying for ad-free simply means you don't get the ads and has nothing to do with posting. I have always used the hosting site (though not for Avatars or banners which can be changed in your profile from your computer files). I know you can post images from your files as well, though I have never quite got the hang of it, because I have seen others do it. To me it seems to be a very convoluted process and it is much easier to post from a hosting site. Foxy knew how and sometimes did, but she preferred a hosting site as well. She would often recommend free hosting sites to some of the members here who didn't have one.

I thought in the post about going add free, there was a mention about not being about to post from your computer and having to need a hosting site. I havenโt used a hosting site in years and prefer not to use one.

Sugar, here a link to the Ad Free thread. ourfantasycastle.freeforums.net/thread/6607/adfreeJoe did make a post regarding Aimoo, which is a different platform than ProBoards. ProBoards never mentioned anything about not being able to post from your computer. They only advised me that we would be getting the ads without paying for AdFree. He also gave us a April free, so the ads only started here the beginning of this month. I think that maybe you are thinking that Joe's post was about us when he was posting about his group in Aimoo.. Joe said: The prices you quoted are about in line with what Aimoo charges in my group. For a long time, a few of my members and I paid the price, but then we stopped. And although we aren't paying, I still see no ads. The major drawback is, without paying, you can't upload a picture from file. I get around that by uploading the picture to a hosting site, then copy-pasting it. It all seems to work well.

Michael, your poem was so crystal clear and concise in its dark beauty. Loved the morphing of the wolf into the man that spoke to the human as predator we seem to have become. There was a time when people lived off nuts and berries in the ancient forests. The sunset for this way of life is almost complete. There were hunter-gathering societies not so long ago. But modernity has taken over almost completely. Loved your dark vision and the truths it illuminated.
John

Thank you Sugar,Joe, & Cat for all of your input RE: Images etc. I was having problems trying to change my avatar using my ph. Think one has to be using PC,tablet,Laptop etc. to do that. Anyway..I'm leaving well enough alone for right now. Appreciate all of your thoughts. And..Michael..sorry for adding this junk to your thread.
