Death in the Woods

by Allison   Nov 9, 2006


Walking through the forest
Gun in hand
Making no noise
Moving slowly

The trees are silent
No wind blows
Searching for my prey
Alone in the dark

Leaves quietly crumple
A twig snaps
Breezes blow
I aim my gun

My prey is spooked
But I hold it still
Swiftly following
Until I'm ready

A loud boom sounds
My prey is shot
Walking toward them
I am the last thing they see

**Can you tell me whats happening?

    Hunting? I noticed I commented on the previous poem, and I'm glad you editted it. It definitely read better the second time.

    As for this poem, very nice imagery. I was able to pretend to be the character in this poem. The only guess I have for this is someone hunting. Good stuff though.

    Nice riddle. It was a bit contradictury, but I understood it just fine! I think its about hunting something or someone in the woods at night, and then killing them.

    Very good poem. From what I understand in this poem someone is stocking a person or animal in the woods and kills it. It is a great poem. Another 5/5

    It is a nice riddle but a bit confusing. In the begining you say "no wind blows" and then later on you say breezes blow" Then again you say "making no noise" then you go on to say'leaves crumple" "a twig snaps". So as I said a bit confusing, but all in all a nice write.

    Please r/r/c any of my poems!
