THE HUNTER

tick tack toe - going high, going low
with a bow and an arrow
with an eye keen to know
its prey.

prey doesn't know,
that a bow
that an arrow
will mow
the heart in hart
the prey is smart.

predator
no matter
whether or not
prey does rot
in a great tension.
predator's attention
pointed at a mention
of the smart prey.

When the sky is grey
come what may
hunter's prey
is the game.
none to blame
at all.

no story
happy or gory
Not to worry
fate jittery -
Prey lies.

shame shame!
None to blame
hunter's prey.
hunter's gay
trophy in trey
on display.

Do not hate
let's celebrate
the good fate
of our mate

at least
in gist
she leads to feast.
