The Wolf

 Through the trees he stalks

And all back out of his way.

He

   Moves

           As

              A

                 King

              In

        The

Night.

Not a single woodland creature

Can be seen when he is out.

                 They

          Fear

  Their

         Ruler's

                  Wrath.

He camouflages between the trees,

A deadly phantom on the prowl.

None

  Live

   Unless

     He

       So

        Chooses.

They know it as well and bow down

To their lord and master,

Their king.

Mighty                        

Among                    

The                 

Fearful          

Creatures.

When he closes for the kill

You won't know until his teeth

Clamp            

Down      

Upon

Your      

Throat.           

His powerful muscles ripple beneath

The beautiful grey and brown mantle.

Life

And    

Strength       

Radiate                  

From             

His           

Presence.

He is the epitome of freedom

And true dominant independence.

Long live the wolf.

Long live the king.

Long live our brother

In his forest domain.

The last four lines are my favorite, they've got a rhythm even though they don't rhyme.
And they make a simple statement loud and clear- the wolf is mighty, the wolf is powerful, and the wolf will bite your a*s off. :D

Well done! The arrogance of the wolf is nicely displayed in the poem. The power clearly displayed and the respect noted. A piece of great impressions and interesting perspective. Not all wolves are mutts. ^^

Ooh, this is an amazing poem, John. You've done such a marvelous job describing a wolf and I love it. The format is just wonderful too. Awesome write!!!

Retro suits you my friend.
Wolfishness doesn't float my boat, but this one keeps it interesting with the weaving.
Nice work!~P
