Wool covered wolf’s heart comfort driven faucet wash not cold nor hot fantasy circling yellow stuck talent hidden spirit famished switching gear to cruelty drive unzipped wolf leaps out surprising sheep with slaughter and panic adding war to plagues and famine deeper in darkness soul iced charity coin tossed out and given to warm heart making it hotter luminous bright sun splendor at midnight shining figs and olives together ripening time to produce in season and out earth shaking faith coins out turning day to night sign preceding Second Coming to Jesus to give an account. Time will not go back to normal faith hidden is faith lost! Led by Cross to glory or by instinct to slaughter. Christmas will be different this year. First Place: Brian Strand- Un-Rhy-me Me 11/30/20

Francis, your poem is deep and dark. Indeed, things will never be the same, they continue to morph, the "unzipped wolf" has leapt.. your metaphors are penetrating as is the intrigue of your last four lines. Congratulations for your excellent win in Brian's contest.. ~Susan
