The Hunt (an AVP poem)

by Lemon & Midnight Sky   Feb 17, 2014


With eyes fixed on the prey
The predator shifts his weight
The dance of death has begun
The hunter is playing with fate

Now as the alien sees him
Trying find a place to hide
Just when the hunter thinks he's got him
Just then he goes blind

The prey is swift; agile
But the predator's laser roams the dark
The three-pointed beam becomes still
The hunter has found his mark

The alien jumps around
Knowing it's getting to late
Still fight until he breaks
Hoping death won't be his fate

The predator's sharp intellect
Is pitted against the alien's speed
The predator thirsts for this kill
Only the alien's death can sate his greed

The predator has been waiting for the moment
When he knows the alien is off track
Now the alien gonna live it seems
Just then the predator kills him

With his three pointed laser beam

    Not trying to be disrespectful of the work but a couple of the lines could be reworked to help the flow of it.

    While it is unique in its range (not being a love or suicidal piece that's far too common on here) I like that. I would just rework some of it just so it flows like a river.

    However goodwork and hope to see some more.

    Very unusual but well done. There is a lot of skill in this piece, if nothing else. Creativity shines here in a very unique way from that of your typical poetry, or really any poetry that I've found to be honest.

    Just a wild guess, just for fun.

    Are this three stanza's written by Midnight sky?

    Now as the alien sees him
