I am alone wolf
In a pack.
I howl at the moon
In the same decibel
As my fellow mates.
So to find me
You need to go beyond
My eating habit
And the color of my fur
See past my lustrous smile
And the reflections of the moon
In my eyes.
To find me,
Sit next to me
When I am alone
And never ask about me
But let us talk of the moon,
The pack and life in general
For my in discourse
You will find me.
I was still mulling over the idea of a lone wolf that is in a pack, the paradox of it, then you hit me with this; for in my discourse you will find me; and now you’ve set me thinking.
Good stuff.

Awesome, I love it when my poems get people thinking. Have you ever felt like that? You are in a group but still feel very lonely?

After many days of thinking about this poem, sometimes unconsciously, I decided to pen down some thoughts/answers. Now my poetic flow leaves a lot to be desired, but hey, I had to try, so, here goes nothing..

Myra, I have read your poem and it is amazing. Loving it. And seriously I think I have said this before your poetry is amazing. I hope to see more of this.
