Winter is coming ..

Winter through the eyes of Angel, An arctic Wolf.

I hear the howls of my pack before me,

The echo in the cool breeze, warning me

Looking up at mother moon only heeds that warning,

She speaks to us,

Winter is coming.

Rushing down the slope of the rock that leads to the den

I skid to a halt and look over the pack,

Counting them, checking them

All are here and all is well

Winter hasn't caught them under her cool, slick spell

Turning from them I move to the mouth of the cave

Laying down and peering out; none of us will die in a icy grave.

Many winters have passed before this one;

But I feel, this year, the cold, lethal turmoil has only just begun.

Very nice poem. It looks like this is leading to a story. I think you should continue the poem. Maybe you can produce a new epic poem.
