Where are you my love?

Each week, author Suzanne Burke invites readers to use her photo prompt to write a poem or tell a story. Her Fiction in A Flash Challenge! is now in its 16th week. Perhaps you'd like to participate and if so, just click on the link above to go to Suzanne's website for more information.

This week's prompt is a photo of a wolf howling. I was struck by the longing that is present and imagined a winter scene, then situated the wolf in that scene. My Tanka poem attempts to capture that sentiment. I hope you enjoy it.

Wolves mate for life, your poem was a reminder of that. So touching and beautiful. <3
