I agree with others about the consistency of voice and the details that make it convincing and creepy. But I especially love this:<br /><br />The wolf<br />is the best thing about you,<br />his choosing you is.<br /><br />What I hear is: we all want to be special, a rock star, chosen, no matter what.Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-2665083562469446892012-03-07T21:31:36.713-05:002012-03-07T21:31:36.713-05:00I loved this poem!

I think it's interesting how some readers can interpret the wolf as someone inside themselves. (I view him as outside.) I've re-read several times. I also like the "voice" of the poem, and lines like these: "You nod at one another when you pass in the kitchen, hello, wolf." <br /><br />I also enjoy this line: "The wolf is the best thing about you. The choosing you is." And this one: "He sleeps on your clothes because they smell like you, the pile of them on your bedroom floor." It's the qualifying statements like these that add to the experience of reading the poem, and give it a natural, conversational cadence; and make the events all so entirely plausible.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-58324164110143078252012-03-06T17:35:48.577-05:002012-03-06T17:35:48.577-05:00Insanely assured articulation of this conceit.

As always, it's the details that matter, like the grey hair on the black sweater.<br /><br />I don't know what it says about me vis a vis the other commenters, but I feel like the wolf.WAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403669322174979974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-79838786749446841772012-03-06T14:30:34.384-05:002012-03-06T14:30:34.384-05:00I think there's a whole pack of them inside of...I think there's a whole pack of them inside of me. <br /><br />This poem is perfection.

I have always imagined a red fox in my house mostly because I used to see one on my running trail and I dreamt of capturing him and bringing him home! I think it is weird the things that go through our heads frequently are the same things. : )MrsLittleJeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261467265044347736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-83788789832208229072012-03-06T10:19:16.204-05:002012-03-06T10:19:16.204-05:00I agree with Maureen on the video poem idea!

Also, it is an instant favorite. <br /><br />That picture (now that I know how to find them!) is creeeepy, but oh the poem you made from it. Yes, "wolves" appear mysteriously, and leave something of themselves behind when they go. How did that happen? It did, and nothin's for nothin'.
