WOLVES HOWLING AT THE MOON Late at night when the moon shines bright You may hear a sound that makes you chill The wolves are howling at the moon again From atop the ridge on Devil's Hill The wolves for countless ages past Have practiced this unanswered ordeal This happens when the moon turns full And the wolves begin to howl at will They continue to howl for hours on end You may wonder if they will ever cease But just before the sun comes up The silence brings blessed peace So now you know the story As told for centuries gone by The wolves will continue to howl But no one really knows why 11 August 2018 For the contest sponsored by Julia Ward

Hi Darlene! No, I don't believe mankind will ever know why this phenomenon takes place at all. It is a quirk of nature that is, and will always be, a mystery. Thanks for stopping by. Drop in any time.
