life and love...a concrete poem

this
wolf
crawls
out
of
the
pages,
lies
beside
me
is
you
long
and
lean
and
hard
from
winter
starvation,
hunted
you
hide
in
bed
slat
shadows,
snow
covered
canyons
caverns
crags
beside me.

Very nice use of words. A complete story in a few words. I liked the use of the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry. I liked the feel of danger and the feel of the mystery.

the imagination can filter any moment in a book and bring to life, in vivid ways, those glimpses of our own yearnings and winter longings... love the concreteness of the lean, hard wolf, looking to quell its hunger... we all have moments like this and your piece leaves little to the imagination... I'd howl but I just might frighten my dog :)

a skinny poem for a starving creature...thank you

The wolf is such a majestic animal, sort of like America's lion. I have an old friend on Starlite who rescues wolves and even raises them as pets, though not the conventional pet/owner relationship. She has to win their trust until they consider her a member of their pack. I call her the Wolf Whisperer. I am sending a copy of this to her. A very captivating write! take care...dan

Wow, you have got one of your characters coming out of your pages and sharing your bed. Now, he happens to be a long and lean wolf. No problem for you though. This must happen all the time! Thank heavens there are some snow covered canyons and caverns on your bed beside you for effect!.
