The lone animal is chased,
blood is pumping,
Fast breaths with scents of fear,
and the trail is fresh.
The hopeful sun sinks to the horizon,
darkness upon earth.
The prey runs into the shade of trees,
but is not safe.
The beast's desire grows,
Sensing the fate of its victim.
Malice is the only path for survival.
Death is coming.
The animal screams as teeth rip into its flesh,
it convulses with pain, it cries for help.
No mercy,
no escape,
NATURE!
A gripping poem of nature, beautiful but brutally honest, letting us feel the terror of death coming upon an animal about to be eater. Very well written, thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
The brutal hide and seek of the jungle, a game of survival of the fittest well depicted in the poem. A nice piece of poetry written with insight. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
