The Lone Wolf Poem by Liam Hughes

The Lone Wolf



Standing alone on the bed of white snow
Unquivered by the winter winds that blow
No fear in front of the face of its foe
It's eyes glinting in the moonlights soft glow

Slowly his back begins to arch in suspence
Its presence its prey does not even sense
While every muscle begins to grow tense
His powers revealed as being immense

The unsuspecting creature is swallowed by fate
Its thoughts wither into a nonexsistant rate
Its heart forever rests its lungs deflate
There upon its soul inscribed is this date

No being is there to catch a glance of pride
Yet none is on show and none he does hide
No thoughts of regret linger inside
Only to law of nature can he abide

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is inspired by the first line in 'The Destruction of Sennacherib' by George Gordon Byron. The wolf in this poem is the wolf I imagine that he was imagining when he wrote that line
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I think the human conscience related to the theme in the poem though may differ by someone. A good poem.
