Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Have Plenty As the Alpha

I am howling my wolf howl
Thrilled that I have it
At last!
I had begged to become one
And now I am not only one,
I am The one, the alpha

No one dares to defy me
They run in my pack,
succumbing to my wishes
All fear me

I never had that as a social studies teacher
The 7th graders used to laugh at me
Make fun of my blandness, my ineffective words
And my unenthusiastic teaching

No one is laughing now
If I could find the witch who turned
me I would bring her a bit of dinner
I have plenty now that I am the alpha
