The Lone Wolf – A Poem
One of my favorite Canuck bloggers, Mathew, of Blog of the Wolf Boy, posted an article in which he issued a challenge to his readers. Here is my poetic answer to that challenge.
Singular set of prints
Fade into distant snow
Scarring a tacit hint
In valley far below
Points of greying shadow
As cast by setting sun
The only way to know
A lonely pack of one
If winter sky decrees
Fresher blanket of snow
Nothing left for to see
Nothing left that will show
Passage of valiant beast
Master of his domain
Brave, lone wolf heading east
Ne’er to be seen again
His howl the reminder
Through distant barren peaks
Still looking to find her
The family that he seeks
Life of being just one
Will fail to see him through
A loner’s life now done
Behold the strength of two

Thanks Mathew! It was good for me to write from a prompt and I have learned from the experience. I hope your post garnishes a great number of responses!
nice response to the challenge. I felt bad for the lone wolf, which means your poem worked at getting to my emotions!
Thank you Jim!
