Oh to at one time in my life see and/or hear a real wolf in the night...ed


Poem Artwork

Den Mother…


 


She does nurture and train her young cubs,


Teaches them she does what not to eat from shrubs,


Sometimes they must learn to dig for grubs,


She does play with them and give them tummy rubs…


 


They do talk to each other,


As do they to their mother,


Howling they do at the moon,


Grown they will be all too soon…


 


The den mom does realize this,


Teaching them to in mans world exist,


Stay away from the man beast she does explain,


Stay with your own and protect our domain…


 


So cute they are whenever seen,


They can be quite unfriendly if approached on their scene,


But if left alone to be themselves,


Their life and ours can be quite serene…

Ed...this is a well written piece...the call they make is the stuff of many poems and songs...I have heard their call while backpacking out west many years ago...it is a sound that one does not forget...it is my hope that your hope come true...blessings to you,

Allen

Wolves are so beautiful and left to their own domain, we can view them in harmony. I love to watch the cubs play, they are so much like our little domesticated puppys, but the fear of the bite of their mother is more than enought to get me to keep my distance. Nice write, Ed
Take care,
Sherry

A marvelous post, Ed, and wolves truly do believe in the family unit, and in teaching and protecting their young. I think it's truly a shame that they now face possible extinction in the near future since we have left them little space to roam, and taken most of the protections away from them.

I am also extremely grateful that I have seen and heard both a northern timber wolf and a southwestern Mexican wolf, but their sightings and sounds are much too few and far between now.

Very well done and if you don't disturb them they may just adopt you. Some wolves will the ones that understand them. They are truly remarkable creatures.

Great write. The wolf, so powerful in mythology, Christianity, and to the Native Americans. The best pet I ever had was a german shepard/wolf cross. Heck of an animal, heck of a pet, heck of a poem...
