late-winter's glow
a love poem

It’s too cold
for turtle doves to
nest the hedgerows, but
wild spirit—summoned by
the Snow Moon’s pull,
knows no limits—risks
his life to ground a moose bull,
all to offer his
fierce queen:
the she-wolf—
labored, still, from birthing pups…
both drunk and grateful in
late-winter's glow
of love

Gorgeous, my friend. The imagery is touching and really top-notch :)
I saw all these pretty titles and images being used and saw it was you. That makes sense. Gorgeous titles and images.
Harsh and wild, yet beautifully entrancing! A wonderful love poem, Gina!
I’m a sucker for nature poems and this one here reminds me why. 👏👏👏🤩
So vivid! Excellent poem.
Oh wow, this was stunning, vivid and evocative! I freaking loved your poem!
Excellent poem, nature at its finest. Well Done!!!
This is such a good poem! I really love the way “nest” is used almost as a verb!
Savagery of love in nature. Excellent entry. Well done, my friend.
I hoped he had his buddies help him take on that moose bull, and that the bull moose was alone, old, and sick. Wolves help keep prey populations healthy. I'm glad that both parent wolves are still madly, drunk in love.
Nature is the best example of sacrificial love
I love how you captured that wild, untamed vibe! The moose bull’s sacrifice and the she-wolf’s glow bring such a raw, beautiful energy to the poem. It feels like nature's version of a love story, fierce and soft all at once. Super impactful!✨
In all the cold surroundings, there is the warm glow of love. Nicely done
