Dreaming of Woman and Wolf

CC JEAN STIMMELL: 8/27/13

DREAMING OF WOMAN AND WOLF

A woman loved her dog,

a companion and champion of every sport.

She thought her world complete

until out of the blue,

Wolf arrived at her door,

hunched over in a crate too small.

She first refused delivery,

but soon out by compassion

built a bigger box and lured Wolf inside,

risking her own safety as he was very wild.

Later when she let Wolf out,

he neither attacked nor ran away,

but shapeshifted into Elk with huge antlers,

whom she then loaned out to a group of children

who were elk shepherds needing his help

to get behind their flock and and herd them

with his impressive wide rack.
