Ravings of a Rabid Werewolf - Poetry by Wolf - 25. The Sentinels

Snow capped peaks surround.

Silent sentinels watching;

Protecting the lands,

And streams flowing below them;

As wondrous awe consumes me.

 

******

 

A familiar road –

Cattle grazing on one side

Across from horses;

Several whinny and some snort,

Welcoming you and me home.

 

******

 

You see me tapping away,

Trying to capture my thoughts.

Glancing around I take in what I see.

Beauty surrounds on all sides

As we head to your childhood home

Yet none of natures offerings

Can compare to my wonderful boy.

I wasn't planning on writing while I'm away for Christmas, but some sights and emotions just can't be denied their dues. :)

This makes me think it's not just about homecoming, it's also an ode to the West. I live in western western Washington State and your poem makes me think of my home state. Thanks and happy holidays.

Thank you, Jeff :hug: Those peaks in Washington State hopefully remain silent sentinels.

I love how you naturally thought to compose in Tanka form. I think the first two are great and show how flexible this type of poem can be. Keep up the great work!

You're very correct. I think being on vacation relaxes my mind so I appreciate what I'm seeing all the more.
