Meditating on the Prompt

What is the first line?
Where does the poem begin?
I meditate on the prompt!


“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.”
Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

I contemplate Frankenstein--
The movies not the book--
and visions of the actors
enter my mind;
I see images of Boris Karloff
and Gene Wilder.

Boris Karloff played the Monster--
I always felt sorry for the Monster--
Gene Wilder played Dr. Frederick Frankenstein,
I laughed while watching Young Frankenstein,
but I still felt sorry for the Monster.

It didn't matter,
if it was Peter Boyle
or Boris Karloff,
who played the Monster
I always felt sorry for the Monster.

Does empathy for the Monster
help me write a poem
about change and pain?
