Last allowed to eat

of the carrion

from the carcass

of  the caribou

 

always off to the side

tail between legs

waiting for the attack

from the angry Alpha

 

so with a sadness

of the soul

he howls at the full moon

until daylight

 

then one snowy, cold day

he wanders off

from the pack

never to be seen again.

Charles - You penned the toughest law of nature and conveyed it very well .. Surviving off scraps ... the weakest of the pack heads off alone to die. Without the security of the pack, he must fend for himself and will most likely become the next meal for another Alpha beast. Very Nice Work! :) Ken

What a powerful piece Charles, as with animals is with us as humans, after all we are animals too.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
