Posted on 2022/11/11 by Bartholomew Barker

I write poetry
with the same intent as wolves
howling at the moon

    Ha yes… I recognize in your quote, the solitaire wolf howling with the same intensity as the poet crying from the soul…!

    Loved your analogy…and the connection between poets and the moon is quite similar; I’ve found. Being rather a night person myself (smiles) these nights of moon are quite exhilarating.

    Having a wolf and being truly bonded with her – the moon brings joy to both. 🌕
