Wolf in a Cage
The wolf paces the confines of his cage
Watching the world from his peripheral vision
As the children walk by, pulled along by their mothers;
They mistake his hungry stare for something ravenous,
All he really wants is to be free to roam the forest—
To raise his nose to the moon at night and let loose a howl
As free as his spirit cavorting in the clouds.

Beautiful!!!
@lonelywanderer2 - thanks
Tight, well written and punchy. I like it.
Nice to see poetry again... This is well done - I've seen that look.
@DriftingDeadly - thanks
@murisopsis - thanks
Good imagery, nice and crisp, too. I like. (Also makes me think of The Smashing Pumpkins)
@DarklyLitWords - Y'know, I didn't realize that, but it does make me think of the Smashing Pumpkins. Thanks!
@MyHomeIsWriting - The title reminds me of the "rat in a cage" line from Bullet With Butterfly Wings.
@DarklyLitWords - I'm guessing that subconsciously I was thinking of that when I wrote this.
