Hunter

Hunter

A Poem by Michele Rae DeJean
"

The hunter needs to kill to feed the family

"

Hunter lies hidden in the tall grass

He intensely watches wild turkeys searching for food

The smallest hen gets nervous and looks around

She comes face to face with the predator stalking her

He comes leaping out of the grass

Before she can vocalize her fear he pounces upon her

The other turkeys let out shrill cries and fly off

The feathers from their fallen comrade flutter on the breeze

The large silver and white wolf trots off with the prize hanging from his mouth

Back to the den he goes and lays his kill on the ground in front of his mate

She is black and silver with large dark brown eyes

She gets their cubs out of the den and the wolf family starts sharing the kill

The family lives to eat another day
