This is a poem based on the book: Call Of The wild, written by Jack London. It is a real good book, and it inspired me to write this <br />- <br /> <br />Raised up a simple dog, <br />I passed from hands to hands. <br />And learned the law of club and fang, <br />It’s the law that life demands. <br /> <br />I ran along-side Huskies <br />and walked on frozen land. <br />In search of yellow metal, <br />That calls up mortal man. <br /> <br />I found my master murdered <br />Face down in the creek <br />And now I live in the wild <br />A place so full of peace… <br /> <br />I lay next to the nature <br />And listen to the sounds <br />I watch the Living food <br />that is moving all around <br /> <br />I hear the call, that echoes <br />Which stops me in my tracks <br />It’s a tantalizing music <br />To which I can not turn my back <br /> <br />I sense the pride within me <br />It’s yearning to break free. <br />I can hold back no longer <br />It’s time for me to leave. <br /> <br />I leap into a fury <br />And race into the wild <br />Running to my hearts content <br />Greedy like a child. <br /> <br />I don’t know I’m running, <br />But my instincts tell me to. <br />The call is so demanding <br />Like fish drawn to the blue. <br /> <br />Everything I ever need <br />Is here within this place, <br />Every meat I’d ever want, <br />And water is replaced. <br /> <br />I stand up high on mighty cliff <br />And howl to all that hear <br />So they will know that I’m alive <br />I rule this place here. <br /> <br />It’s the call of the wild <br />And the blood in my veins <br />That pushes me on forward <br />Throughout the endless rains <br /> <br />I am master of this place <br />And ruler of the land <br />I need not be wolf <br />Becouse I am who I am<br /><br />michael douglas hamby<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/call-of-the-wild-2/
