A Howling in the Wind

Call to me, 

oh spirit of the wild.

Your call,

that howl,

that ferocious little smile.

Oh how you tempt me!

That indeed,

the need to run,

the need to breathe

in that fresh mountain air.

A love so pure,

that's nature, sure.

But can you hear the wolf's soft howl?

There! He runs! Along, he prowls.

Thank you! I hoped to do something of the sort.

[quinfinn]

this conjurs many evocative pictures
and is adorned lingually with the love and respect for wolvenkind
this poem is a treasure...

[Allyson Wolfe]

Thank you. The wolf is the most spiritual of animals to me and the way I represent that is equally spiritual, or at least that is what I hope for.

[zainul]

You are welcome

[Matt Evans]

I'm no poem expert, i sometimes dabble into my poetic side, but i usually stick to novels; that aside i can still tell you that this piece was great! Short, simple, direct, and powerful. Plus i love wolves, so you win in my book. ;)

[Allyson Wolfe]

Thank you so much! I prefer short story writing but I often write poetry as a segway into a new subject. Thanks for the review!

[Kenneth Compton]

The wolf has always been a symbol of freedom and primal nature. You have done an excellent job of capturing both here. I salute you, madam.

[Allyson Wolfe]

Thank you much! I love depicting the wolf for this reason.

[The Analog Kid]

The wolf is mysterious and sensual in this write. And yes, they do always have a bit of a grin:) Nice rhyme at the end

[Allyson Wolfe]

Thank you!

[The Analog Kid]

YW..anytime!
