Feeding The Wolves

The wolves watched her slit her wrists
And licked their lips as the hunger rose deep within them
They tongued the blood that dripped from her fingers
She was feeding the wolves
But she must not have known better
For the wolves were creatures of lust and only wanted more
One drop of her sent their senses reeling
Licking turned into teething
And the teething turned into gnawing
Then their gnawing turned into biting that broke her ivory skin
Blood began to bleed through her white dress
And she began to cry tears of black
As she was being consumed by the wolves
She knew better than to scream
So she excepted her fate in silence to feel all the pain
Nevermore could she feed the wolves
The last thing she saw was a little white pup
It was getting ready to pounce her hand
Which was leaking crimson
It was the mistake of her ignorance that lead to her suffering
For she learned that temptation was her murderer

The lyrics from the song "Shoot It Out" by 10 Years

"Feeding the wolves, don't you know better? Feeding the wolves, the taste of blood is better."

This poem was random... I don't even think it made sense, but I want you to tell me if you like it. :)

The title of your poem made me interested to read your poem, good choice! And great job! Thanks for sharing.

There is a belief that giving into your vices occasionally is okay when actually, like the wolves, your vices will consume you more and more until their is nothing left of you. Great poem. Gave a lot of good imagery. It also flowed well as I read it out loud. The words chosen gave the poem great sound, flow, and imagery. For instance, "And licked their lips...Blood began to bleed..." Good Job!

i loved this poem! even from the title it drew me in to want more! i see an image of a girl, innocent in all meanings of the word, who wants to give more than she should, more that she can as it turns out. and even though this girl was ravenged by wolves there is a part of me that envies her. to give something of herself so entirely, even without knowing the consequences, and despite the fact that 'I' know the consequences...i wish i could have that naivety....that strength

very beautiful write!!!!!

[master squiggles]

Hm, that was pretty good. Very dark and with awesome imagery.

[lawrence bear]

yes dark indeed,
Nevermore could she feed the wolves
The last thing she saw was a little white pup.
feeding the wolves, I like that.

Very good, dark but very vivid. The imagery is spectactular. In my mind it speaks of our vices/naughty habits... how they can lead to our downfall. Wonderful writing.
