The Call of the Wolf


image

Turbulent skies roll and growl, and howl.
Clouds grow and glow as they tumble.
Sunbeams streak through,
Setting the sky alight,
As day dramatically clashes with night
In a way
And clouds the colour of hay
Sway
As if to say
Brace yourselves
For the grace
Of one of Nature’s finest displays
As raindrops drip
Heavier
Heavier
Even heavier
Pattering the ground
Competing with the sound
Of the thunder overhead
Lightning fed
Strong winds led
And the call of the wolf
It is said
Leads the elemental battle
While citizens cower below
Wrapped snugly in their beds

      You mean you would dare to challenge the alpha female of the Europa pack for the right to lead the pack Prenin?! 😀 That’s not very sensible now is it…lol…could be very risky that could! HoooOOOWWWwwwwLLL! 😆😉

          I think perhaps now would be a very good time to start thinking about it!

    I was having a bad day that day Tom …couldn’t help all the blustering and thundery lightening bolts..and you an Icewolf having a tantrum always leads to torrential downpours and some very strange weather!

      Oh yes. I did have my suspicions, Icewolf, but didn’t want to say…
