A Poem - Light Foot - Do You Like?

Question:Light Foot, leader
of four-pawed friends,
runs on red earth
leaving no trail.

Rattlesnakes hide,
scorpions flee,
in the presence
of his shadow.

Smudged rituals,
incense burning,
lights the circle
creating strength.

Full moon rises,
round and silver,
filling the night
a howl is heard.

I see a Native American, running with the wolves, before we came and sullied their land.
The man fasting, and seeing visions - communing with the wolves. And then the picture of a huge low moon with a silhouetted man standing, head thrown back, howling.

A beautiful poem about a wolf, filled with intense visual imagery.

Are the Lupines in bloom?

A beautiful wolf poem. I love the imagery and the rattlesnakes hiding, just from a shadow. Also the terminology of the "smudged rituals." Blackened by wonder and hidden from the eyes of those who don't quite believe in the supernatural. And finally, the animalistic howl under the eye of their goddess, screaming out ferocity in freedom. So many images, so little time. Brilliant, Marguerite, and lovely.

I like your poem. The only thing is saying that the moon is "round and silver," is somewhat cliche. You want to avoid cliches in poetry. Try to make the cliche your own. Other than that, *snaps*

Sounds like our friend the wolf, he is a joy to watch. Very good, I like it.

I like it.
It's lovely.
Nice work:)

You have written an awe-inspiring poem with vivid, intense imagery. You have very succintly created an entire world that I really experienced as I read. Every stanza is a small masterpiece. I love it. Thank you.

exceptional work... play with the last verse. . it needs a robust period......
A full circle moon
liquid silver
fills the night
a howl is heard

Smooth and clean. Nice read.

Very Native American. I wish there were more poems out there like this. They're so very spiritual. Nice job.

One of my favorite poems you have written. Imagery is brilliant and this I shall keep forever.

Great one! If it is a poem done in your gracious time. It reflects better though of presentation using the correct pattern and symmetry of words.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
