There are those who feel
The Fox is the very avatar
Of cunning, while Coyote
Might argue he is the wily czar
Then you have wise old Owl
Who solely symbols night sense
Aware of all around you skill
He thrives within dark suspense
Of course we all know the Crow
For its black wing and cawing speak
What of the Raven or bold Jackdaw
Both esteemed with ancient mystique
In this sense one stands alone whose
Golden-yellow eyes have hypnotic spell
The noble Wolf is nature's keystone
Alpha for the ecosystem to excel
