Wolfman

As the wolves continued to hunt in their pack
There was nothing that they would lack
They found a man who would join the nightly hunt
Raiding the forests in their nightly jaunts
No, fear did they seem to display
Hunting at night and sleeping  by day
As each early morning sun would rose
He would find himself in a crouched up pose
It felt like he was living some strange, strange dream
For his clothes were dirty and ripped at the seams

Hi Phyl, this reminds me of the Mougli story I read as a kid that lived with wolves (I think). Interesting you would write about this, wonder where you got your inspiration. Nice one to read.

yes, it would seem like a strange dream to wake up in a forest that way! I don't know how you are doing this contest. It looked way too complicated for me. I hope this does well, sweetie!
