Wolf
Howling in the dark of night
with eyes of an amber gleam
Sleek and swift on the prowl
the wolf is rarely seen
Embedded tracks while on the move
are the only signs he gives
Watching - stocking - killing prey
is how the creature lives
Roaming - searching - a thirst for blood
the night for him is long
His mood is fierce - the hunger grows
as the hunt continues on
When morning nears, he's had his fill
he'll rest inside the den
And wait until the night moon shines
to start the hunt again
