    I really liked your descriptions:) it helped very clearly get the message across. Next time though, I wouldn't focus so much on the rhyming. I think it might have flown better if you would have just put it in what came to mind. But none the less the poem was still good!
    5/5

    This should be dark more than misc. argh, I hate animal death.

    There is very little for me to comment on in this, it's well written, maybe not emotional enough? But I can't see anything to change.
    And I don't really have anything I like about this poem because I don't like the theme =\

    I will comend you on the good imagery at the end of the poem.

    Great work, 5/5

    There's a few things through-out the poem I would change, which I've broken it down and shown you where they're at. I really like the meaning of this poem. Someone had commented that there might not be enough emotion, but I disagree 100 percent with that. I am going to say though, that in the beginning when you explained how it wasn't your usual, I think that should be afterwards. Therefore it's giving the readers time to take in the poem and make up their own conclusion of what it means than what you meant by it. Even though I think if you're an indepth reader you'll get it the first time around. Anyway, you have an amazing poem here and I really enjoyed the read. :]

    The wolf has run away today,
    His paws have gone in all but snow.
    Yet I trail with eyes so keen,
    My glance has eyed the blood below.
    I hear his quiet tambourine
    and hope that we may reconvene.
    The hunters body yelps in ail,
    Disturbing woods that were serene.
    Through the frost I walk his trail,
    Afraid of what I may unveil.
    His figure falls into my sight,
    Collapsing as my lungs inhale.
    His bloodstained body lays contrite,
    As I hear his peaceful sigh.
    This has become my sorrow plight,
    in choosing that the wolf must die.

    [ The wolf has ran away today,
    His paws have gone in all but snow.
    Yet, I trail with eyes so keen,
    My glance has eyed the blood below.]

    ** I get that 'run' is present tense and it's in the same day, but he already 'ran' away which is past tense. On top of that it sounds better, lol. I put a comma in after 'Yet," in the third line because while reading it allowed it really let the flow go a bit.

    [I hear his quiet tambourine,
    and hope that we may reconvene.
    The hunters body yelps in ail,
    Disturbing woods that were serene.
    Through the frost I walk his trail,
    Afraid of what I may unveil.
    His figure falls into my sight,
    collapsing as my lungs inhale.]

    ** I really, really liked those lines. The only part I wasn't too fond of was the first two lines. They do go with the poem pretty decently, but something about them just threw me off.

    [His blood stained body lays contrite,
    As I hear his peaceful sigh.
    This has become my sorrow plight,
    in choosing that this wolf must die.]

    ** changing 'the' to 'this' makes it sound more concrete to me.

    I feel this poem reminded me about one poem called "Tiger"...

    Well, I picked up this poem because I was interested about the title. I do not know have you ever seen a wolf in nature but I have, in my home town up in the northern Finland. It makes a little bit silence. Wolves are mysterious animals and there is that something thrilling in their behaviour.

    Your poem was skillfully written. Obviously you know how to hold a pen in your hand, don't you.

    Nice poem and vivid images. Wonderful job.

    Firstly i think you've put this in the wrong topic area.

    honestly, i don't like this style or the topic, but on a plus plus side, it is really well written and you've chosen some very impressive vocabulary- eg. with the air in which this is written placing teh word serene into this poem kinda took me by surprise but in a good way.

    you need to put a little bit more punctuation in to theres a few commas missing.

    His blood stained body lays contrite,
    As I hear his peaceful sigh.

    - this was my favorite part i don't really no why i think it flows and it kinda give me chills which was a good sensation for the writer to get.

    the rhyme of your poem was fab the beat and everything is perfect, i always prefer a poem with a good rhyme and flow throughout.

    4/5 very well writen. x

    This sort of blurred together. A small bit of influence and emotion leaked into my head. I didn't really see the... placement of images though.
    The words.. weren't very desriptive.
    The flow did piece together well, though.

    A nice write.
    Your metre/rhythm went off in lines seven/nine(could add"as" to 9) and lines 14/16(could drop "in" from 16).
    Your rhyme scheme through me completely off as it was so inconsistent. It was even difficult to pot not knowing if you meant to rhyme or not.

    -hisses- I don't quite know what to think of this poem. There's something about the way the words were put together that triggers conflicting emotions in me...

    The first four line were the only ones that created a solid, concrete feeling for me. It was sad, forlorn. For me, these lines symbolized something that had been lost (the wolf that is out of sight), and something that jerks fear, dread and foreboding (the blood). I believe it's because we don't know WHOSE blood it is -- and at the beginning, my mind chose the wolf as a friend, and I feared for its life.

    "Through the frost I walk his trail,
    Afraid of what I may unveil."
    Again, the same fear, only heightened. And a pretty image -- frost, winter, forest.

    To me, everything else is a blur. Too conflicting, too fast to get a solid hold of. I'm not saying that its bad, merely that I don't know what to think -- or what to feel.

    Hope the could have helped.

    This was a very good poem. The meaning was unique, and it was a good read. I had trouble with the flow in a few spots, but I reread it and it made sense. It also felt like most of the poem rhymed, but some spots were not rhyming, and that kinda ruined that part for me. I can't rhyme at all, but I enjoy reading the poems that do.

    Good read, keep it up.
