Too Devastated To Howl

wolf stands at top of only timber he can find
studies barren wasteland 
which used to be home
destroyed by man’s fire 

lone wolf keening 
searches for lost mate
not understanding this devastation
hating man more than ever before 

family gone
clan gone
lone wolf, stands alone 
too devastated to howl

Heartbreaking, Caren. I suspect a lot of humans can empathise with your wolf. I’d like to mention that I can’t normally get my head around non-rhyming poetry forms, but this struck a chord, so maybe you’ve educated me... good job.
