Notes About The Poem

Moon Song Painting by Richard De Wolfe

Wolves and the Moon

Wolves and the Moon


Brave wolves at midnight boldly stand-
	howl at the moon with heads held high.		
		Top rocky cliff, they take command
and gather 'neath the star-filled sky.

Some say the moon's hypnotic hold
	induces baying at its glow.
		It's more a battle cry, we're told,
to round the pack, gear up the show.

As they prepare their next advance-
	the Alpha signals, start the flight.
		Grave power in their moonlit stance-
poor prey will meet its fate tonight.
