One Night In The Woods

Inspired by The Writober Flash Fiction Prompt Is your character paralyzed by fear of success? 

Artist: Seth Fitts

I saw a wolf

that  looked like a girl

she had dark brown eyes and reddish brown fur

Her teeth were long and white

she was missing a paw

and when I called out and asked

her name

she howled back:

I see a girl that looks like wolf

she has dark brown eyes and reddish brown hair

Her teeth are long and white

she is missing a hand

why is this girl out here in the woods

howling for wolves

and not for other humans instead?

I looked at the Wolf

and she looked into me

and we stood there in the woods

frozen in the moonlight

and nothing around us dared to make a sound

for the rest of the night.

    • Thank you! My goal is to really buckle down and learn to write poetry in it’s different forms. But for now I think I’ll go ahead and just have fun with it!
