I like the concept of this poem, especially the first stanza.

"Quiet as nightfall, silver-gray shadows hunt.
Scents ride the whisper of a northerly wind.
Persistently, they follow an aromatic map,
deliberating, two keen minds think as one".
This reminds me that the animals hunts at night when no human around , that's where the feels the security.

"Alpha pair, hunters of the pack stalking prey,
while others stand watch with vigilance,
protecting the young wolf pups,
waiting for the lone howl to signal a kill".
Yes i've seen this on the television, where they ventures in group, and each has a particular role. This is brilliant.

"Successful, exhausted the couple return,
slow, unwary rabbits today's feast.
Eating their fill, wearily succumb to sleep,
relinquishing remains to the pack". Yes after they stomach are filled, all is well.

"Hunger abated, subordinates surround
the mated pair, with noses up against them,
howling, in resigned submission, hierarchy persist.
Foraging the countryside, begins anew.
Very good concept. I like it well done you two, 5/5, kel.
