Wolf Howls In My Heart

image by ipzircom.deviantart.com



In the 
back
of my mind
is a wolf howl.
Inside 
of my heart
lives 
the wolf.

Mama Zen has ably challenged us, with Words Count With Mama Zen over at Real Toads, to write in 25 words or less, a power image we seem to use repeatedly in our writing. Well, of course, there is only one response, for me, to no one's surprise.

    Nope, no surprise at all. Don't think we don't all know that you slip out and howl with your brethren whenever there's a full moon. :-)

    I knew it would be a wolf ... I love the pointillism.

    Oh yes, indeed. It's not everyone so lucky to have the wolf spirit companion either.

    The idea of the totem animal lives within our primal cells I think, and both shapes and protects us,if we are able to find it. It feels pretty found here. Like this a lot, Sherry.

    The howls of wolves can tug at the heart. It lingers on and chilling in the quiet of the night. Yes,inside our heart we could feel it! Nice write Sherry!
