Lupine

Honey eyes stare into the night

A grey pelt ruffled by wind.

Teeth are bared in a the silent vow

Of vengeance.

Furred ears turn like an owl's head.

Slowly

Silently

Taking it all in.

Snow drifts lazily down

Covering tracks of a lupine prowl.

A howl

Muzzle turned up into a silent plea

Breath taken in

And expelled 

In a musical note

A sad and lonely hymn.

I love this. It is straight forward without actually said "The Wolf". Very creative use of words. It really draws the reader in.

[King Wolfe (Dylan A. Ki..]

i love your word choice and how well this poems flows, it also has a slight lyrical aspect to it which makes it all the better, overall great poem, hope to see you in next month contest

[QuietLikeTheSnow]

I could imagine every second of it. Wow. Your writing... never apt words to describe it.

[London Poet]

The lone wolf howls! Your poem brings up an evocative view of that howl and the life of a wolf.

I love the ears turning like an owl's head, so expressive a simile.

[Adam Lebzo -RonninWarri..]

Nice description indeed! and quite imagery

[Constance Payne]

I did see the wolf as I first started reading this. I can also see a simpler coyote in this as the wolf is romanticized and the coyote is almost forgotten; their differences minute yet their sameness forgotten.
Wonderful.

I like it (I love wolves by the way). I feel it was very powerful and I almost heard it like a song in my head (I blame Game of Thrones for that and the Rains of Castamere lol).

Hehe! Thank you so much!

[Harley Rose]
