more wolf than woman Poem, by Shevaun S, at My poetic side

some days I am more

wolf than woman

and it’s hard to hide my fangs.

I’ll hiss and snarl and spit the blood

of those who trespass against my land.

ii.

some days I am more

wolf than woman

and it’s not that hard to understand.

I cannot be tamed or caged or chained,

I am the alpha of the pack.

iii.

some days I am more

wolf than woman

and there is no strength I lack,

but hiding and camouflaging

with the sheep

does not make my fur more black.

iv.

most days I am more

wolf than woman,

and you’ll find me bathe

underneath the moonlight.

in the slightest of mannerisms

you’ll discover, it’s not that

easy for me to hide.

hunting and guarding and marking

until the weary day turns to night.

in the way, that I tread the land

these claws covered by a pretty coat

and smiling- hah, no that’s the

predator baring her fangs to show you

how it’ll dig into your throat.
