His silver mane protrudes into the night
The howling silence causing fright
Into the hearts of civilians it breeds
Those that know better, they will heed
In packs he travels, seemingly never alone
The fiery glint in his eyes, like glossy stone
He waits, stalking, stealthily treading
In a single maneuver, he pounces, victim dreading
Lean and lithe, his haunches extend
The life of his victim will soon end
With swiftness in a hefty bite
There is no grappling or resistance in this plight
His packmates stream in, following his lead
Yet when the moon settles in, and ‘tis time to feed
They take first pick, always superior
Leaving the lone wolf shivering, inferior
Without a word, he takes off in a sprint
What he is thinking, he does not give hint
Back at his den, the sudden downpour of rain echoes
The blurred lines shower down, for are they friend or foe?
The calm and serenity shroud his eyes
For if he knows what is best, he will be wise
And seek the shelter of desolation
His story at the seed of culmination
Never uttering a single word
The bleakness of his heart now stirred
He savors the moonlight
And climbs back into the night
Hope you guys enjoyed that little snippet I call a poem. Wolves are pretty freaking cool, particularly their behavior and survival methods.
This poem was also written for a school assignment, if you must know.
Some of the randomest topics hold a lot of meaning, so there may be a variety of topics ensuing.. Hmm. :)
Thanks for reading!
