This two-line poem, An Italian Opera, has the proper formatting and finds the aria out in the snow as the marauding wolves survive the cold winter's night together.

Excellent, yes, as wolves howl, they are relating to others and maybe telling a story of what is to come, a wonderful addition for the renga book, very well written and presented****kahpot

Thank you for sharing this poem with us. The artwork is amazing and wolves howling can be very haunting. I've heard them and seen them on a dark snowy night. Excellent poem.

You create an excellent scene, Lisa, in which I can virtually hear those operatic arias taking flight. Quite majestic and otherworldly and a pleasure to see and read. Well done! Debbie

Hello sweet Lisa. I must admit to you that I don't understand this poem. The artwork is good as is the structure of the Renga, but it doesn't make sense to me. Just thought I would share that.

    I meant the wolf's howling sounded like opera singing.
    My original draft:
    wolfs howling in the cold wind
    a Italian opera.

    Is this version better?

    Thanks a lot for the feedback.

The song notes do not only come from the Italian singer's vocal chords, but also from the wolves, who raise their heads to the sky and deliver their own sense of song. The picture is outstanding, and the words blend perfectly.

The poem's strength lies in its vivid imagery and contrast, evoking a haunting atmosphere. The juxtaposition of wolves howling and an opera creates a striking, lyrical tension.
