It will pierce you with its eyes,
it will turn your life around.
There's no meaning anymore:
Creature of the Night.

It will turn you upside down,
it will turn you inside out.
Only tears, gone the smiles:
Creature of the Night.

Yield your goodness to its fury,
feel its heat burning your flesh.
It is jealousy, oh dear:
Creature of the Night

Yow! The green-eyed monster. You really nailed it.

Beautifully done, Fabs. Downright scary.

Here's the quote from "Othello," which I love:
O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on

I wonder if the second line in the second stanza should start with "It will," as in something like, "It will turn you inside out." Those first three "It wills" are really potent, and it would be good to keep the strong, in-your-face noun-verb thing going.

Nits:
"Fell" should be "feel"
The ellipsis (...) should be a period (.)

Two suggestions:

Burn your flesh instead of burning - I think it fits the rhythm of the piece a little better.

And...since we're talking about the green eyed monster here, why not convert the pupils of the bird to a neon green??? :eek:

Cool treatment here, he looks pretty scary to me just the way it is.

Fabs, How did you do that treatment on the bird? It's cool I'd like to try something like that.

Denise, I think I used Find Edges with Difference as blending mode. I really don't remember, I know that after I use a filter I try various blending modes to see what looks good.

Gracias, guys!
