Wolf Watching Lovers

as it is

Bloodeyes among the trees.

Waterwood broken;

an open split

of small life.

Steps out of tact,

tied.Tubular

breath that makes

leaves vellum.

So when the two

bend and coo

with a mouth full

of pigeons, you

pace and green

in the dark

strange with envy.

Here they are putting wolves to add to the animals we all ready have in this state. Now you mention those poor birds and it starts me thinking...Kathie

Wow. What images this conjures. I believe the appeal is the simplicity juxtaposed with the complex, without being so abstract as to be obtuse. Others would do well to learn from you.

The lines about the pigeons are intriguing...I'd never expect them to be put in a positive light like this.

[Coyote Song]

A very compelling view into the wild side of life.
I like this. Cool unique imagery.

[Tina Kline]

A very creative and unique poem. I love the outstanding imagery and the sense of wildness in this. Fantastic writing.

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for the kind words. Mostly I don`t like my poems when I re-read them, but this is, I hope OK.

[Tina Kline]

You are very welcome.
I do like it. It is very good.

this reminds me a bit of the movie "Wolf"---the instinctual animal experiencing love with all the senses, naturally...whereas with humans, the act of love comes with a price...with different motivations behind the coming together....a ritual planned, an act of purpose, often ulterior motives...with wolves, it's just the basic need for survival, and mating for survival---no hidden agenda...

you challenge my thought process with your words...

animality ( if that makes any sense). Lots of my poems I don`t like , when I re-read, but this is one of
the few I am pleased with. Thanks, and best wishes.
