Lone Wolf

She walks among nocturnal light Seeking what she may devour Forever lonely is her plight Forever does the land she scower She seeks her mate though he has died A hunters gun did bring him down Her grief now has her live this lie False hope now has her surely bound She howls now under moonlight rays For now it is her only friend The predator now fills like prey She wonders when this long night ends 8/11/18 For the wolves and the moon poetry contest Julia Ward sponsor

Knowing that wolves mate for life makes her sad plight so real Charles. Excellent!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't write much melancholy or dark poetry so I'm glad for a second opinion.
