Scavenging relentlessly
Some critters find food effortlessly
Like possums, skunks and raccoons
Though not one of them carries a tune...
The arctic wolf rarely fills his belly
~ but at least he can howl at the moon
I sensed eyes on me but saw nothing but Arctic white
The sun was high, and the frozen crystals were sparkly bright.
My snowshoes stopped in the middle of the ice, as I looked around
I finally spotted an Arctic wolf pack, sitting quietly next to solid ground.
