snug in my bed while the snow lays deep. A wolf calls the pack to hunt.


Poem Artwork

Last night the Wolves called. Before the dawn glow With the moon slipping away In addition, cold breathing from snow. The world is hushed, asleep. But No! From far away, Wolf calls- Answered by the pack. I love it when I wake like this morning early and I hear the Wolves calling each other to the kill. I will not think of the kill, my mind sees those beautiful creatures wild, free, working together, family. A psychologist I was seeing once, suggested that I myself was a free spirit, trapped in conventional Suburbia. I do not know about that, I think that I am just a nature nut! Haiku. burning gleam of eyes. stand silent up wind from prey call the pack, come feed. ©hjv

I like it. Certainly has a "call of the wild" feel to it. And certainly thrilling for those of us in the lower 48 who don't get to hear wolves communicate.

Coincidentally, I just read my mother's 1940 (account of her father, my maternal grandfather) life as his father homesteaded in north-central Wisconsin. At that time the area was much like Canada where wolves and bears roamed freely (they are coming back gradually). She related a couple of his wolf stories. One that I remember him telling me was being chased one night on his way home with a carriage and his horse, Nellie, running for her life as a pack of wolves were on their tail.

Would love to be snowed in and have always wanted to hear the wolf cry out...but in NJ I doubt either wish will come true...-e-

I COULD NEVER IMAGINE MYSELF residing near wolfs
to me it sounds like a nightmare..... always been scared
of werewolves.....lol
but I do reside with another creature just as deadlier
"Alligators" in ever pond and lake within our compound
Love & Peace be with you

William
