Howling Winter Wolves

Eileen Clark

The day is a gray one and bitter cold 
Wind slapping my face piercingly bold  
The snow is icy white, the top layer is hard 
My forced footsteps leave the service scarred   

Not a sound is heard, noises freeze in mid air
Later the moon exposes that activity was their
Some rabbits, deer and even some wolf tracks
Leaving me to wonder, are they running in packs

Tired and hungry, I head back to my lodge                                                                                                                                                                            Safe, yet feeling there is something I just dodged                                                                                                                                                                looking out my window I see shadows prowling                                                                                                                                                                    There they are on the hill, I hear the wolves howling

      Hello, thank you for reading and commenting on my poem zaynab.kamoonpuri. I painted the picture of the wolves years ago and gave it to my son. I just wrote the poem a few weeks ago. I will definitely go read your poems.

      Very lovely poem Eileen. Ominous and moody, and I can feel both the icy wind and the chill down your spine. I miss reading your contributions. I hope you are OK...
