If you listen closely you can hear A sound coming through loud and clear Through the forest and past the trees His harmony travels on the summer breeze A lonesome deep mournful howl Signals he is out on the prowl He pads along the forest floor Until he reaches the sandy shore Pausing by the the cold lake water He'd go for a swim if it were hotter Now he bows his head to drink The moon reflects his tongue of pink He sets off along the beach Hoping he'll be able to reach The summit of the mountain's peak Before the clouds begin to leak Walking up the mountain clearing He can feel the storm is nearing Stopping there dead in his tracks As the sky turns to deepest black He lifts his head to the clouds The way he looks is very proud From his gut comes a powerful sound Richer and more beautiful than any around Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Beautiful and haunting like a wolf's song itself. I love wolves, you know the Huskies type wolves. Beautiful creatures. LW a very vivid picture. excellent poem. Stopping there dead in his tracks As the sky turns to deepest black He lifts his head to the clouds The way he looks is very proud From his gut comes a powerful sound Richer and more beautiful than any around ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

~This is so cool LW...the little tale I have playing in my head. Great imagery, which made it all come to life. I told you that your writing was getting more and more creative...this is great....the different styles that you have written with...and about. You are outdoing yourself everytime. Take care. *Peace. |

Beautiful imagery Lone Wolf, you've captured your namesake's vision so well. There is something so incredibly beautiful about seeing the silouette of a wolf howling into the night upon mountain top. Wonderful submission for the book! Best wishes, /Kit |

Lone Wolf, this was superb! You have my vote too. I have a wolf hybrid companion who is 70% pure. Her name is Kisma. If you are interested in seeing her & her sister Shasta's pictures as puppies and adults, go to my website in one week. I should have all my family pics up ^_^ Amanda "Come what come may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day." A line from Macbeth, by William Shakespear |

Great work! love the way you start to read and just become a part of it all. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

LW~ wow! the powerfulness of this blew me away. i have come to expect great work from you, but this i was not prepared for! beautiful vivid imagery you have created. i could see the whole thing in my mind. wolves are one of the most beautiful and mystical creatures on Earth in my opinion. Too bad they are so misunderstood by humans. They also are very intelligent if you ask me. Loved the image of the proud wolf howling into the night admist the top of a mountain! Spectacular! Take care. Amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

He lifts his head to the clouds The way he looks is very proud From his gut comes a powerful sound Richer and more beautiful than any around ..... yes , The proud wolf looks to the skies, The full moon shines his eyes, With divine vision, lets out a deep sound, Beautifully eerie, pleasing nature all around a beautiful depiction from you, really enjoyed this one.... regards, sudhir |

My mother has two wolfdogs, and they are very powerful creatures with a haunting voice and a yellow gleam to their eyes. This poem just reminded me of the prowess that your poetic words animated in my imagination. |
