Sol bleeds at the edge of ebony skies, and inks clouds scarlet, as He slowly dies; silhouettes and shadows in veiled disguise. As Luna ascends in regal splendor, a lone wolf's wails are mournfully tender; upturned jaws, implying its surrender. Howling summons the others of its clan, a ritual before the time of man; that no one knows how or why it began. Families stealthily hunt in the dark, and unlike packs of dogs that yelp and bark; wolves, howl at the moon, before they embark.

I really enjoyed this poem Émile and the triple rhymes worked effectively. It's still odd for a Brit to see the 'or' alternative to splendour etc but I appreciate that it's perfectly acceptable for the American target audience! Just 'regal' instead of 'regale' which has the sense of entertaining or amusing with talk/ entertainment etc. Best wishes Wendy

You have captured the essence of a wolf pack, Emile. The words you choose so carefully always come together in a dance that tantalises and clarifies why I love poetry.
