Alaskan Wolves

So, yet again

I turn to you

Turned right, then left,

Lost and loose,

Who knew there’s this many shades of down and blue.

In truth I’d pretend;

Again and again, uplifted in wind

And movement and wisdom,

This and that,

These air molecules in fission of the grey and brown wings of Golden Eagles.

Candid,

I’d wear strength of Alaskan Wolves,

A stash,

I’d pull from a basket full of 'once was passion'.

Preventive maintenance,

And coping mechanisms would clash with dwindling lacking optimism,

What other option is there?

Half-awake in after thoughts,

Sought answers,

At least a fraction of what I’ve been asking for.

The thunder clouds of unknown would kiss the mountain peaks and tree tips,

Navigating thicket of deep forests,

In torrential down pours.

The audacity of a crooked smile.

Only more emotion and anger would bubble the kettle.

Pine for an outlet,

A basin,

The ocean.

Anything to cope with.

So, yet again,

I turn to you.

I love how descriptive you are when you write your poems, it makes your writing flash before my eyes like that of a movie. It's almost like I am amongst the scenery and in the poem itself when I read it, and that is truly magical. The only thing I can really point out in this poem that could be improved is the "But honest, I’d wear strength of Alaskan Wolves" the word honest, I don't know if you intended it to be like that or if you meant to use the word 'honestly' which would make more sense (although if you were meaning to use the word honest then just ignore this). Other than that, this was very well written and a joy to read!

You know that 'honest' line bugs me too, it's intended, I felt it necessary for some reason. But still bugs me. Can't thank you enough for dropping in, and with quite a review at that. Many thanks my friend. Honored I was able to reach someone.

I can envision this being a scene in some kind of movie or drama. I like how your poems always leave me feeling calm and relaxed

[Pragati Chaudhary]

So imaginative and pure.

Thankyou for this piece!

I really liked the connection to Alaskan wolves, in general though, all of the naturalistic elements. The varied length of the lines create such an engaging dynamic that demands your attention by force of reading speed and settling upon words and phrases. It's a captivating push and pull. The ending too, felt so fresh yet final; even though, the beginning had the same words, "I turn to you."
Really, a joy to read~

I'm sure that everyone who reads your poems, including me can literally see it happening like a movie and that's something which amazes me a lot. I gotta say. This was absolutely amazing! A good read my friend!

Ah- this was a beautiful poem. You know, I could see the eagles. Like in a painting! Golden feathers...that shine! Lighting up the sky! And then it got a little sad. I liked that part the best :) thank you for entering my contest!

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

thanks so much for entering into the real me competition, still judging this weekend, thanks for this wonderful work

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

The strength and majestic beauty of the Alaskan wolves or that if anything of Alaska is truly hypnotising- a place I’d return to any day- as the bald headed eagles- this beauty causing emotions to explode and overflow- the connection of self and searching not knowing what we’d find but never the less searching- not always easy to understand but somehow bringing peace- very original- wonderful words- mysterious just like the open nature described🌹

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing use of the description. I liked the use of the animals. The wolf. Can survive in the house of man. I liked the thoughts in the words. Thank you Ty for sharing the amazing poetry.

We all need strenght, courage, resolve .. from somewhere; perhaps adopt the attributes of whatever inspires or comforts Your words are shadowd with sadness yet somehoe lead somewhere better, brighter., Maybe it's hope calling?
