SOUND OF RELIGION

                    Picture from SunNet

It's a waxing moon when they materialize from darken gray
As they raise their voices in unison and to their god they pray
Haunting the sound as their voices echo through the night
To some who listen it will freeze their blood in pure fright
Where else can one hear the sound of religion so crisp and clear
And to think a wolfs religion is a simple one of pain and fear
Brother to the wind and sister of the dark, they live in mystique
Moving from shade to shadow they appear both graceful and sleek
With a lethal kiss to prey they use fang and paw prove their power
Before these champions of the night even the might of man will cower
But it is to the moon they sing out loud their praise and devotion
Giving life to a sound that is the heart and soul of all their emotion

Author's Note

I leave most punctuation to the reader that they can read the poem in their own meter, mood and motility. I thank you for taking the time to read my work.

Thank you, I have turned many of my Grandmothers (who was full blood Blackfeet Indian) stories into poems.

You have a way with words, this poem is so smooth and dark, it felt like I was eating dark chocolate, haha. This is amazing, cheers to you!

[Bear]

Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to post.

Seems to me after reading your first lesson of poetry, you left out the who here. Shouldn't you mention them right from the start so the reader knows who or what you're talking about instead of guessing or finding out half-way down the page?

[Bear]

You are absolutely right, I gave every clue that I could that I was referring to wolfs being the who without saying so :~)

[Nia Lisa]

This was very interesting, you have great vocabulary. I was wondering, you seem to have an interest in animals, for some reason I've been wondering if you might be part of an Aboriginal culture?

[Bear]

Yes, my grandmother was full blood Blackfeet Indian.

[Nia Lisa]

Bingo! That's so cool!
