The Hunter

Waiting for the right moment

The sights are set to my target goal

Watching it so carefully as a predator

Letting the prey think they are safe

Just keep watching as the prey comes closer

Keep calm and hold my aim

Only to know the right time for the shot

Take my breath and calm my finger

Let it ring out as speeds across the field

The birds start to fly as the echo goes out

The shot hit its mark as the victim did fall

Right in the field of security and call

My breathe rebounds as I have my kill

For me just another good meal

On an animal that now is a kill

About the Creator

Sarah Danaher

I enjoy writing for fun. I like to write for several genres including fantasy, poetry, and dystopian, but I am open to trying other genres too. It has been a source of stress relief from my busy life.
