Wolf Love Comments

This is a very touching and memorable poem. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and am adding it to my favourites so I can enjoy it again. Thank you for sharing.

Deborah - Thankyou for finding the Wolf in yourself and Yourself in the wolf. Both are then much more than either alone. I will enjoy browsing your poems.

From what I know of wolf, coyote and wild dog behaviour the howl or the yip is a call to dinner.That's how they call their pack and the pups.Wildlife doesn't waste food as this is a law of natural survival..you were very lucky that you weren't surrounded or attacked by the lone wolf or its pack.. As a romanticised version of an endangered species it's a wonderful fairy tale but nature has never tamed the savage beast within us or any living creature.It's eat or be eaten... You did a great job telling the story and keeping the rhyme going but beware that there is danger in Nature's beauty.. a ten from me...

All creatures great and small resound in this sensual poem, wonderful poem but it just makes me think of the horrible cruelty to so many animals and battery farms for human consumption. Enjoyed your poem so much+++++10 REGARDS

Hi Deborah - this is a lovely poem which tells a story of love and devotion - even unto death in the animal world. In the UK we learn many lessons of love and social niceties by observing the animal kingdom at work and play. We try to use humane farming, for our animals, animals and of course as you know we are crazy in our care of pets. I like cats so you might like to read my poem TO A CAT written in the style of ROBERT BURNS! (I hope you can understand it) . personally I like long poems - many of the poems on Poemhunter are too short to do justice to the title. Your poem is reminiscent of the Great American Poet - Longfellow - with his epic poem Hiawatha. I looked for a key word in every verse: vision - peace - care - sorrow - empathy - love - concern - prayer - star - heaven - creation - trust - desire -memory - wonder - mystery - fascination - sacrifice. When analysed in that way it makes on realise just how much emotion is in the poem. God gave man care of the whole of His Creation, flora, fauna and all the Earth's resources. Al Gore has pointed out that over the last two centuries we have made a bit of a mess of the planet - but its not too late to make amends. Good word usage and good rhyme. I have sent you a personal note about metre! I have scored it 10 for pathos!

I agree with Daniel Deborah. I enjoyed it tremendously. So many writings are really a waste of ones time in reading, but I found this really enjoyable. Thank you so much for writing this. I will take it as a favorite as well. GW62
