What’s the time Mr Wolf?
‘Late morning,’ says the Wolf
as he runs and hides
What’s the time Mr Wolf?
‘Midday,’ says he
as shots ring out and
his pack scatters
What’s the time Mr Wolf?
‘Evening,’ says he sadly,
as he looks at the carnage
about him, metal teeth drawing
blood
What’s the time Mr Wolf?
‘Too late,’ says the wolf
with tears in his eyes, now
the last of his kind as the
hunter takes aim…
What’s the Time Mr Wolf?
Silence
No more howls
Time has run out…

Thank you so much. I have many others dedicated to them on here also under wolf poetry and a few on other animals also.

My goodness your poem and the footprint absolutely broke my heart. I also have a petition on “please stop killing us” at change.org re the WOLF..I write, I call all our officials no one writes back and the silence is deafening. I send my love to the wolves everyday and beg for mercy for their precious lives, but no one does anything. We are barbaric and so stupid, can we get a wolf app to download to stop the killing? We must let more people know they are being massacred. I feel utterly lost and and deserted by our federal officials re their archaic policies of our beautiful iconic American Wolf. I howl in utter pain with my brother and sister wolf.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
Yes Rebecca, something has to be done before it is too late. Some breeds of wolves are already extinct or close to it sadly. One day they’ll be hunted out of history, out of the wild unless it is stopped now.
I’ll sign your petition and an app is a good idea, one that covers everything Wolf and petitions. You could ask Defenders of Wildlife to do one or the International Wolf Centre?

I have sent Rebecca’s brilliant idea to Earth Justice and the Center for Biological Diversity.

That’s fantastic! Hopefully they’ll reply in a positive way, fingers crossed. and as for plagerism, it exists everywhere and sometimes can’t be helped. I’ve seen some of mine rewroked. As long as you done copy word for word anyone’s work then you’ll be fine. Good luck!

I wrote a piece of prose which (to myself) sums up Humankind.
It is not published.
I want to publish, but (as all starving artists) am fearful others may attempt plagiarism.
It has taken me over 10 minutes to post this!
Typing hurts due to an injury.
Keep your words flowing.
