The Hunt

Heightened senses,
Adrenalin rush,
The agility,
This is the hunt.

Can't make a sound,
Creep along,
Steady breathing.
In and out.

Track the footprints,
Set the trap.
Wait in the bushes,
Wait for hours.

Watch as the beast draws near,
Stay hidden.
Spring the trap.
Hear the cries.

Aim with deadly accuracy,
Shoot with pure power.
And carry the prize back,
With a head high, no longer creeping.
