Sheep's Skin

Shepherd boy seeks out a green knoll
   Close by a clear watering hole
Sheep lazily graze after noon
   Eyes heavy, the boy slumbers soon
Whoa, What? -- He wakes up with a start
   Sheep's skin, by a wolf torn apart

Wiley wolf - poor shepherd boy - I almost see a biblical scene in front of me. Lovely poem, Hugs, Jennifer.

It is rather 'pastoral,' as they used to call it. Thanks for the comment, Jennifer. :) gw

Poor little boy! Bring the lamb back, you bloody wolf!)

Survival of the fittest, I'm afraid, Comrade. An unguarded lamb is 'low hanging fruit' for this wolfman. LOL. ~ gw

Big bad wolf is making some interesting poems; I am thinking there is some heavy Bible reading going on these days in the wolf den. I had never heard of a LAY poem; I am going to have to see what this is all about. Thanks for the education and the ending which had my eyes pop.

Pop, pop, pop. Sounds like Rice Krispies or the Fourth of July. LOL. Thanks, Caren. Best wishes, gw
