Grateful to Sheila-Na-Gig online journal and editor Hayley Mitchell Haugen for publishing two of my wolf poems. These poem are not in Rooted and Winged, but rather in a future project. I really love these poems (haha) and hope you do, too.
Both poems are “how to” poems:
*”How to Make a Hand Shadow Wolf”
*”How to Digest the Wolf”
I hope you’re having a lovely holiday weekend and that you join me for the Rooted and Winged blog tour beginning September 15.
These are such fun! I can tell that you gleefully sculpted them.
Hah, thank you, Joy!
Love those how-tos! I love the pairing of the milder and wilder poems.
Milder and wilder–I like that! So glad you like these poems!
Wow, Luanne! I just read both poems. Absolutely wonderful poems!
Thank you so much, Marie! I love that you like them. They are favorites of mine haha.
I can imagine why, especially the second poem. That one gave me chills!
You have some pretty wild ideas there, Luanne. Lots of fun.
Hah! Thanks, Anneli.
On my way to read the poems!
For me, “How to Make a Hand Shadow Wolf” turns on “You’re in charge.” “How to Digest a Wolf” hit me like a kick in the gut.
You are so right about “You’re in charge”! Thank you for your great feedback!
You’re welcome, Luanne!
Wolf poems intense, Luanne. Made me shiver and shake, woke me out of a mental slumber.
Good for you!
Keep at it.
Very intense. The Little Red poems are being taken over by the wolves!
Congratulations. One poem delightful; one terrifying
Thank you so much, Derrick.
Whimsy blended with horror. Very well done, Luanne!
Thank you so much, Eilene! Whimsy and horror–I like that.
Congratulations on the poems, Luanne. I agree with Derrick. Though I think both are sides of Little Red. How to Digest the Wolf hit me so hard. I can’t imagine dealing with that, and I’m glad I never had to–but too many do.
Thank you so much, Merril. Yes, both Little Red though the wolves are taking over!
You’re welcome, Luanne.
Congratulations on your poems!!!
Thank you so much, Linda!
That second poem gave me the chills. Really powerful and creepy. And the first made me want to get up off my butt and try it!
Thank you so much, Amy. Haha, I’d love to see you making a hand shadow wolf!!!
What a wonderfully playful imagination you have, Luanne. Congratulations.
Thank you so much, Carol! I finished Warning Signs last night and put up a review at Goodreads and Amazon. Brava to you! I couldn’t bear to put it down!
Oh, thank you, Luanne. That makes me so happy. It’s interesting how I learned more about my book by reading your review. You wrote a great analysis. <3
Congratulations on the publication of your recent poems, Luane! I enjoyed reading them.
