When the lone wolf cries he wants a friend,
he is sad and lonely.
Unlike the pack.
The pack runs wild throughout the trees,
chasing the wild moose and deer.
The lone wolf can't catch the swift, cunning, deer,
and the moose is just too powerful.
So when you are alone and you hear his mournful cry,
you will know what it means when the lone wolf cries.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem in fifth grade I just want to put it out there. I really love wolves, but my teacher brought it to my attention that it sounded like I was writing about a child with a broken spirit. I guess its up for interpretation.
