Author's note: Written for Prompt #2 at poetic_hp - In the cold November rain



A werewolf loped among the trees
On a dark and moonless night.
The moaning wind was chilly, and
It carried winter's bite.

The werewolf paused to loose a howl
In mourning for his mate--
The one who slipped behind the veil
When the wolf arrived too late.

Within the trees, there seemed to be
An echo of the sound,
Another howl that answered him,
Voice faint, yet all around.

The werewolf rose and carried on,
Still searching for his mate,
Refusing to accept his loss
To fickle hands of Fate.

Had he looked back, he would have seen
A balm to ease his pain:
Another set of paw prints in
The cold November rain.
