From crazy to norm
So fast to transform
In the blink of an eye
Before you can say Hi
You would never guess
Seconds ago he was a mess
Eyes bloodshot red
Hair upright on head
Now a picture of calm
No sign of alarm
No warning to give
It's safe to believe
Transformation's complete
No fear of deceit
Till the day turns to night
Then again what a sight!

I read a crime story about a man whose behaviour transformed every night after he binged on alcohol. He was mild mannered during the day at work. Based on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Good fun words Rozina and very true in many circumstances.
Andy
Thank you Andy.
A fine write R.
Thank you orchidee.
Both Robert and Neil have it.
I would like to add though that alcohol is a factor in many cases of domestic violence of which, apparently. there are far too many.
Oh yes and it got worse during the lockdowns. Thank you for reading and your comments.
yeah, this
is sadly
far, too common
an occurrence..
and a tangible reason, to why
horror
is such a stalwart genre
of modernity's entertainment vehicles
because, for far too many people
its nightmarish depiction of reality
is one, they can relate to so easily..
at least far easier
than those fantastical, fantasy romcom's
with happy ending, tropes...
(a necessary and important write
thanks for sharing, dear poet)
Thank you Mek. You are right, such horrible situations are relatable to ourselves and others.
I have known people who transform into quite different people after alcohol and or drugs. None were pleasant transformations.
Nice fun poetry.
Thank you dusk.
What a gothic classic you've given new life to! Great execution!
Thank you Rocky.
This is me in the supermarket queue, slowly getting irritated and then turning green, and then going mad. What is wrong with these people.
What is wrong with them?! It's definitely not you!
It's them, I'm perfect. lol
that could be a picture of me Roz .. I'm bad half the time and nasty the other .. they say I take after me Dad n someone else's mother ..
I very much like your take on one of the now great classics .. one I might add that as a kid used to frighten me silly ............. Neville 🙂
Thank you. I'm sure you're not bad or nasty most of the time!
Thank you.
Unfortunately such abrupt changes do occur far too frequently. The poem was fun, these changes are not. Well done.
Thank you.
