Wolf Pack's Court

In the court I heard the trickle of a fountain, as it spilled softly into a pond.

Dragonfly whispering silent nothings to a spider as it flew hovering about.

Time stood still; I froze dead in my tracks, unwilling to disturb this vision.

I passed the mill on my way to greet the wolf pack, they asked me to meet.

Every thing amiss, no creatures were about; a secret spell cast on darkness.

The forest’s wounds were plain to see, yet all would look away pretending.

My thoughts jumped back painfully recalling the former glory of this land.

As I rounded the bend in the road I could see where my wolf left her mark.

The glowing eyes appeared at our sacred spot; I knelt and Alpha kissed me.

“What can I do,” I asked; Alpha said, “Teach them to Love, this will heal.”

Author's Note

Be kind...I am not a writer of stories and this is merely an exercise.

This is beautiful! 'Dragonfly whispering silent nothings to a spider as it flew hovering about.'

To say you're not a writer of stories and then create such a graphic piece of writing is exceptional. You've followed Helena's requirements yet birthed the sweetest flow of ten sentences. And I'm not being kind, mean it. :)

Thank you Emma, I should re-phrase and say I have no experience writing with rules and structure. I, like my writing are both free spirits, and add the complication of dyslexia this is a challenge, albeit a fun one. Thank you for the compliment it means a lot to me.

I will always meet you and people have forgotten how to love, but we too must heal.

[Veronica Chandler]

Thanks so much for visiting my humble pages; I want to come visit sometime.
This one was fun to write; I have wolf coursing through my veins and double wammy, I am an earth dog in Chinese astrology.

This has some beautiful imagery, really breathtaking stuff! Amazing how much of a picture you manage to paint in just ten sentences, this feels like a short summary of what some people could turn into an entire book,just condensed without loss of art.

I'll stop fawning over it now.

Fawn away dear one...I really appreciate it. I have done some terrifying things in my life, but writing in a public forum tops my list of most frightening.
Thank you ever so much.
