A Letter from Victor Frankenstein
My Dear “Adam”, as you once requested,
Without suspicion
as you slept at heaven’s door
I reshaped nature
in the darkest night
electricity’s embrace
stirred your tender heart
as your brain concurred
you became my greatest Art
and then you awoke
trapped in a dark dream
there’s no undoing what’s done,
I do have my regrets
because I’m to blame
you live in your loneliness,
must hide far away
when I think of you
I call myself a monster
do you ever dream
do you imagine
what is it to be human
I long to see you
again we will meet
now my carriage has arrived
I will write again,
With a tortured heart,
May this letter sooth your soul,
Victor Frankenstein

Was this a recent read or a beloved one?
A beloved one…my free choice selected book in High School way back when. Probably time to read it again..
I think Mary Shelly would be pleased. I like the form of each stanza being a haiku. Good job!
