Analysis of Howling Winter Wolves
The day is a gray one and bitter cold
Wind slapping my face piercingly bold
The snow is icy white, the top layer is hard
My forced footsteps leave the service scarred
Not a sound is heard, noises freeze in mid air
Later the moon exposes that activity was their
Some rabbits, deer and even some wolf tracks Leaving me to wonder, are they running in packs
Tired and hungry, I head back to my lodge
Safe, yet feeling there is something I just dodged looking out my window I see shadows prowling, There they are on the hill, I hear the wolves howling
