like the wolf-

 

 

 

Like the wolf...run the night

Swift and fierce and colored white

Watch with the eyes, for that's where it's all seen

Run the night..so sly and keen

 

So sharp the fangs that rip the flesh

With blood so sweet... The meat so fresh

Just run the night, survive- release-

Calm the hunger... It will increase

 

With a scent you linger, then you lurk

And with your face, those eyes- that smerk-

Taste the hunt... Seek your prey

Make your move, but don't delay

 

Take cover, hide- observe-

Feed the hunger that you serve

Now is the time, Move in- attack-

The night still young. The sky still black

 

With surprise... make your mark

Fuel to the fire, ignite the spark

Circle round with eyes that scream

With a threat to the soul, to the core extreme

 

Quick you move and always fierce

Strong your bite, deep the pierce

To the victor the spoils, you continue on

The game be played and there lay the pawn

 

Claim your prize, take your part

The pack moves in, with your claim you depart

Escape really quick with an urge to retire

Fill the belly full, endured the desire

 

So on you go with that will that you strive

Engulf the night..Your will to survive

Extend your sight, howl to the moon

The sun will rise a moment to soon

 

Cry with the call to the stories that you tell

Return to rest to the place that you dwell

Lick the wounds that surely bleed

Endure the will, the want, the need

you write with talent abundance! i can say i really
enjoyed every eloquent aspect you desribe, the
Stunning imagery takes one to the hunt, so to speak,
the dreamy creativity flows through every word, the
way you metaphorically descibe lustful passions is sure-fire
hypnotic, written with natural poetic captivation. mike

Very descriptive work. I could feel the chase and hunt all the way through this work!

[NJ Schneider]

I usually don't like rhyming but the fact that you didn't use the normal simple rhymes really made for an enjoying read. It had a good flow and read with rhythem. Great work!

Excellent write! there is nothing for me to say, this is so professionaly written. I LOVE wolves! In a respectful way. I love their power and I envy their freedom and I want them to keep it! The way that you describe the wolf is as if you are the wolf.

Excellent, Excellent!

I came back to read this again... one typo... smirk

I'm smirking, not sleeping...

I love the tightness of the rhyme along with its colour. You're a damn fine poet, Miss P

I felt like I was running with the pack while reading this. Of course, wolfs and pigs don't really get along. Just look what happened to my two brother's houses. :) Good read.

That was really great! I could definitely sense the fierce emotion in it. I love the way you worded it. Just awesome.
