Well, another update on me. My head is fine... Scratch that, it's no longer injured. And, it's time for poetry corner!!! I've got a bunch of poetry to post here. Note that all of my poems are meant for a serious tone, and I won't post all of them up yet, you'll get more as time passes.

Title: All Days Considered
By: Inukai
Genre: Other
Rating: G
Notes:-This won't be my best poem, mostly because it's being written at 2AM with no pre-thought so light critiquing please.
-Yes, I know it doesn't rhyme, it's a free-verse poem

All Days Are Considered

All days are considered

Leaving not one out

All the pain, all the joy

All there in my mind

Every day swims through

Every moment remembered

All the highs

All the lows

And all the middle moments too

All days considered

Life was OK at best

Nothing great

Nothing bad

Unfinished dreams

Things already done

Things yet to do

All days considered

I have a lot left to do

I won't give up

I will not stop

Until

All my days are considered

Title: Fear From Above
By: Inukai
Genre: Other
Rating: PG-13
Notes:
-Yet another Free-Verse
-This is written because of the Aerial gunnings going on in Alaska against the Wolves.

Fear From Above

Snow crunching through my claws

My breath steams in front of me

Fear drives me on

Something in the sky

Noisy, and full of stench

A loud sound comes from it

Snow leaps around me

I am being pulled by fear

For days it has been

Running, never stopping

Nowhere to hide

Nowhere to run

The stench of death fills my nose

More explosions

More leaping snow

My brother beside me loses pace

He falls, deep in the snow

Unable to continue

My brother, Beta to the pack

Tears well up

Can't stop running

Not for a second

Never stop running

At the end of the Earth

Continue to run

Exhausted

Throat is dry

The frozen air

Stinging eyes

Nose, ear, and paws

Can't stop

I'm at my limit

I can't go on

Muscles fail

I trip on a stone

I lay in the snow

I feel the cold

Breath comes in short gasps

With my last strength

I look up at the beast

Flying through the air

Bringing only Death

It sees me

I close my eyes

And hear the explosions

One last time

Title: The Road I Walk

By: Inukai

Genre: Life

Rating: PG-13

Notes:

- This poem basically reflects how my choices have determined who I am, and I was feeling lonely

- Free-Verse

- Wrote 02/08/06(Don't ask how I remembered)

The Road I Walk

The road I walk

I walk alone

I have no one else

I have no home

No one cares

What happens to me

The road I walk

I walk alone

The shadows are

My only friends

That's all I need

That's all I want

The road I walk

I walk alone

No one follows

No one cares

I walk alone

A split ahead

Two ways to go

One way to humans

Powerful, but vain

The other to the wolves

Loyal, but powerless

What road do I take

What path do I choose

Down one way

The path to humanity

I see skyscrapers

And buildings

Built on stolen ground

I fill with rage

I look down the other way

The path to the wolves

I see only Death

Brought unprovoked

By neighbors

Old friends

Anger grows

Bound up inside

Yet I show no pain

No one to show it to

For, I walk alone

Both paths end

In pain and Death

Or betrayal and vanity

Both paths well trodden

Yet not one for me

I walk alone

Which path do I take?

Left or right

Neither one is for me

I continue on

Making my own path

Not wolven, nor human

But right in between

The path I made

The path is me

I walk it alone

Title: Questions From A Wolf

By: Inukai

Genre: Life

Rating: PG

Notes:

- This poem is pretty much all of the questions I've asked myself over the years.

- Free-Verse

Questions From A Wolf

Why do you cry for us?

Your kind never did

Why do you want?

That's what got us into this mess

Why do you waste?

It's just stupid

Why do you hate?

Not even us hate your kind

Why do you burn?

It does more harm than good

Why do you kill?

Are you that hungry always?

Why do you laugh?

Can't you hear us die?

What are you?

A human, trapped with a wolf

Or the other way around?

Title: Darkness

By: Inukai

Genre: Other

Rating: PG

Notes:

- I made this poem because I was sick of people grouping evil with darkness.

- Free-Verse

Darkness

Most think it's evil

Symbolizing death and despair

Those are the ones who live in fear

For with darkness comes light

And with light, darkness

Darkness will follow

Everywhere you go

No matter where you go

I cherish the darkness

Embracing it tight

There is strength in darkness

As there is light

Title: The Nightmare

By: Inukai

Genre: Nature

Rating: PG-13

Notes:

- A poem that shows where the world can go to if similar patterns reside.

- Every other line rhymes (Forgot what it was called)

The Nightmare

Why can't I wake up?

I find myself asking

If it's all just a dream

It's sure everlasting

To some it's a nightmare

To others a wish

Though from my point of view

It's only in anguish

I'm trapped in a room

No one else in sight

Just a wall

With holes and light

Into the holes I peer

Unable to cease

The destruction and chaos

And no sign of peace

Not a wolf to be seen

Heard, smelt or felt

The deer herds overgrown

Many died, to young to be pelts

With no one to control

The numbers continue to run

The vegetation is gone

Because the humans wanted some fun

But no one's complaining

Celebrating instead

Over their victory

Now that all the wolves are dead

Every last human

From the big to the small

Is throwing a party

For they slaughtered them all

The killers revered

Their families toasted

Unknown evil upcoming

As they cheered and boasted

The balance was torn

And now coming near

The doom of the Earth

That's what I fear

Then I woke up

In my bed with a start

Was it all just a dream?

Hand over speeding heart

If it was all just a dream

It was surely realistic

But, maybe a vision

Of something futuristic

I hope not, I sighed

As I lay down again

To frightened to sleep

For what if when

The Earth is in turmoil

No one left to protect them

They fight their last fight

As they are elected

To be the ones to go

The long war ended

The last rifle shot heard

Into wound, unmended

A short burst of pain

Which suddenly ceased

As the last one fell limp

And finally found peace

I hope this won't happen

But I fear it's unevadable

For today the war rages

But my bond still unbreakable

With every wolf, I share a bond

And I swear they will be protected

If not by me then by others

Our love for them always erected

Outside my window a howl is heard

And when she was done

The rest of the pack cried back

So a safe journey, met the lost one

A few minutes later

The whole pack is heard

In great jubilation

That all are safe and returned

As the sound reaches my ears

I'm no longer afraid

I lay back down in bed

And soon drift away

Title: I Believe

By: Inukai

Genre: Nature

Rating: PG

Notes:

- This is the first long poem I wrote.

- Couplet Rhyme

I Believe

As I stare upon the midnight deep

I try my best not to weep

I tell my self I shouldn't cry

But I can't keep from asking why

Why do they want to hurt us just for trying to be

Why can't we go on just being free

Why do they torment us day and night

Why are we forced to move and take flight

Is there someone there that can help us through

I think there is, do you

I think there is someone out there far away

Past the mountains and ground of red clay

There is a human that for us weeps

Every night before he sleeps

With eyes and hair of brown

The only one who enjoys our sound

Not a child and not yet a man

But in between in a foreign land

With hair all askew

Others like him there is few

Very loyal and kind

With a subtle, down to earth mind

I believe that he will

Make the humans stop the wolf kill

And bring piece back between us and man

Then maybe we will be given back some old land

Though the boy and I, I feel

Have something there, something surreal

A bond that will never be torn

Shattered, broken, shredded or worn

I hope that he will be here someday

To take the pain and suffering away

But until that day I can only hope

All of us aren't shrouded in Death's icy cloak

We must be alert, healthy and fast

To make sure this day isn't our last

For we are the wolf, proud and true

Loving and caring, but also few

Title: Becoming a Lone Wolf

By: Inukai

Genre: Dark

Rating: PG-13

Notes:

- Yet another poem from the depression period in my life.

- Free-Verse

Becoming A Lone Wolf

To turn your back

On everything

Everyone

You’ve ever known

To be forced out

Of the only home

You’ve ever known

All your brothers

Sisters

And family

Gone forever

You may never return

Title: Depression

By: Inukai

Genre: Dark

Rating: PG-13

Notes:

- A poem I wrote while I was feeling really, depressed about my life

- Free-Verse

Depression

Depression…

What is it?

Controlling

Enraging

Chaotic

Uncaring

It saps your joy

I just want to be left alone

Everyone to stop annoying me

I just want to leave

To go somewhere alone

So I can calm myself

But nowhere I can be alone

Everywhere

Someone follows

I can’t get away

Everyone is following

I just want to be left

Alone
