Description Human flesh splits and ripps,
claws grow from your fingertips.
The truth of you exists no more.
Enters werewolf, never seen before.
Who is he, and what's his name,
and why can't he be the same
as the man who once was glad?
Now's a wolf, rabid and mad.
This new wolf is not your form;
rage and anger not the norm.
What has caused the wolf to wake;
the natural form of man to take?
One more pressing question then:
How can you make it sleep again?

the only mistake is "wht" on the sixth line. And I should add you probably do ten times better than most people.
The rhyming scheme you used really made it sound (when read aloud) like a myth or folklore past down by word of mouth. It gives it an impression of being familiar and not at the same time. And the mood shifts by those three question causes the reader to pause and ponder them--reflecting on the werewolf's suffering. That's a great move to make since werewolves are assumed bad automatically in our minds. Giving the another view on something most people have an opposing view on is a great way to explore new ideas.
