IGWRT's Fireblossom transforms us into totem animals for her challenge, but showing versus telling is the hardest thing to do - not sure I'll ever get the hang of it, to order, but I fancied feeling owlish today, so here goes...
Predator
Day dazzles me;
my senses twist
in search of night,
whose mysteries turn my head,
listening for your scuttlings...
Are you already fleeing
towards deeper darkness,
overwhelmed by my menace?
Does fear beat the air like wings
as I rise on its lift of excitement?
Hunger takes control
and the hunt is on...
If I could be a bird, it would be an owl.
ReplyDeleteI love owls. (not being a mouse may have something to do with that!) Thanks for taking on my challenge, Jinksy. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are an owl...
ReplyDeleteHey we can hang together ;D
Hunger does rule doesn't it...
I love this line:
"Does fear beat the air like wings"
Wow....
I think you are an owl.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise how could you describe it so well?
Great job.
I wouldn't mind being called 'a wise old bird' instead?! lol
DeleteGreat owl perspective! I do love owls.
ReplyDeletePerfect transformation. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, Jinksy.
