Canis Lupus The sound of a pin drop in the kitchen downstairs wakens me. I get a whiff of a strange scent not one I can identify. My eyes open and I can see in the dark. Unusual, as I always stub my toe on something. The nightlight is on and I make my way to the bathroom. I glance in the mirror and see a strange...

~ for Ana ~ I was there many times - I’d been watching him for years, (he, black as coal), almost two decades now, an extraordinary age for a wolf ... every full moon, and only then, he came to the clifftops … to howl, you ask? yes, to howl ... certainly that, for his voice was majestic, but it was far more than just a...

The moonlight shimmers lupine pelage, Luminous white, silver, and grey, Scintillating eyes peer a ledge, To skulk the skirted night away. A carmen matricale of...

The light at the end of the tunnel is Death by his lampost, his cold scythe in hand. We pounce at the day like a lion, only for it...

Premium Member The Lupus Was a She
The lupus was a she howling at an orange winter moon baying for a he with pups yelping unison in tune. “Where could Daddy be?” They question Mother as she softly moans. "Just wait there and see. He'll bring luscious catch of meat and bones." A lone wolf was a she to weak to gather food with all the pack. Hunters on a spree had...
