In wolf's skin
Rattles around fire

Thank for your entry
I like it. One of my ex's is blackfeet.
I like the picture this paints. Especially in the second stanza. I can see him moving around the fire now.
The form was done well. You followed the word and line count and the imagery was very present. Good flow and structure.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless

Very nice imagery in your limited words. The "fire" makes a nighttime setting come to mind, and the drum, rattles and dancing complete the picture

A nice effort. Native American traditions are alive and well in spite of our best efforts to stamp them out along with examples o great pageantry. Happy trails.
