There is
Glass to be broken.
That is the philosophy
And the simple understanding with the underlying drums.
There are
Victories to reach.
There are
Limits
That must be challenged
And their blood will remind the screaming crowds
Of the stars bristling in the sky -
And the drops
Will crash dizzily from the top of the world.
His eyes are glass
And his head is down.
And his eyes are unsheltered.

whoa
i like this alot. it was simple and yet so deep. your words are intense and they painted such strong and powerful images in mind. awesome imagery!
-
wow, this is really good. i think without the picture would have been almost better, because then you wouldn't have to limit yourself to 'wolf' ideas.

Well its nice to be inspired but i think the poem is better than the picture honestly...I like poems that are strong at the beginning and followthrough to the end and i think you did that..[rare] infact i liked the first few lines best..i dont know why lol
awesome! <3

Nice!
Primal! Cool! -
Ooh, quite a beautiful picture you pulled your inspiration from actually
you have a good poem written with it, and ended it in a strong, visual way and I like that!
thank you for entering the contest - I wish you the best of luck!
Leander -
Intense view of courage and realism in facing the essence of life's challenges. I think this poem is more lucid than the picture.

A fine sharing into this contest
I felt a tinge of sadness in this...
A piece that reaches out to your reader...well done!
Thank you for sharing and for being a part of the contest! -
I am very glad I looked at the picture that went along with this poem. Otherwise I would've missed a lot of what it was really supposed to mean. I will be back later with more commentary I'm sure. But best of luck.
~The only thing I really have to add was that it took me a few times reading it to really understand what you were trying to get across. Once I understood it though, I truly enjoyed it. -
Oh, I like this. It's a bit simple (which usually isn't for my taste) but the depth is wonderful and I like your wording a lot. This holds inside emotions that can be felt, no matter how simple this poem might seem at first glanze. Sadness, loneliness, and still something else I can't quite reach. For some reason this poem really meant a lot to me, and it also adds so very well with the picture.
Great work with this one!
