Alpha Wolf Of The Pack Poem by Britney Hogue

As twilight breaks
She awakes from her sleep
She steps from the den
With four of her young
Playing about her paws

She looks to the sky
As the full moon rays
Aluminates her hunting ground
She sniffs the cool night air
And knows the hunt is near

She sits head lifted high
And alerts her pack
With an eerie howl
She’s awaken for the night
And ready for the prowl

She starts ahead
While the rest follow
She begins the trail
Pursuing in a whispering run
Among the freshly fallen snow

A flicker in the glow
And she spots in the snow
A white fluffy hare
His small black nose
Sniffing the nights air

She’s on him in a second
Her hunting skills prevailing
And she carries her prize
To her patiently awaiting pups
Then back again she hunts
