In the Silence deep in that copse that I traverse the one of sanctum sanctified peace silence recently broken now I find no ease searching my soul, searching just to keep the pain from hurting to give reason to the pause to find logic in the cause today is not of long ago now the bang is only show to trophy some man's gallery no, this is not for you or me… once the cause was just and pure and the target true and sure now I see with raging disgrace no gratitude, just loss of face today in my copse, in my woods stumbled over what once was good heard the breathing, laboring, deep shot of hunter allowed bleeding to seep young doe struck, wounded, in dread to allay her misery, shot her, dead now I know why a camera's click should hunt the woods of the quick no, a huntress I shall never be not when my camera is my poetry and in the silence, hear me cry as fades to black this doe's soft eye 01.14.01 |

A sad piece, but beautifully composed. Wonderful writing. Poeminister "...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls- O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love." -Poe |

Thank you all...if a hunter is going to do his job...he should do it all the way...but what was even worse was the violation of our property as it is posted clearly, distinctly, and in numerous areas "No Hunting"... better yet...go to the grocery store... |

Upon the shadows of insecurity hidden behind prowler's mask lies the man of paper knigthood afraid of the answers ... if he chose to ask Weapons drawn against innocense to bring him false manhood bearing the torment of fear from a bullet of costume ... to be understood ============================= Sorry, but this one really hit home to me and it just came out. I hate to see shameless acts of violence especially when it is used to hide the insecurities of the one bearing the weapon. I don't hunt and have nothing against those that do it for food (as long as it is done legally) but those who do it for sport are to me the weakest of us humans. Wonderful write and full of much emotion. |

I am glad that there are others who feel as I do...proper hunting is one thing... but ego does not belong in my pastures that are a refuge for all... for all who have read, and understood, you, then, are the poet true... thank you... |

what a wonderful poem you have penned here..i agree with you wholeheartedly...hunting has never been up there on my list of fun things to do..and i dont like the idea of hunting for sport..just to pin a trophy on their wall after making the poor animal suffer...that just makes me want to spit! and i dont even know how to spit... hmm..sorry..i couldve just said..i agree.. great write..i'd like to put this on posterboard and put it on sticks..stick it in the ground all over the woods........ ok..i'm done..sorry...  hugs...g "oh baby baby, its a wild world..its hard to get by just upon a smile..." cat stevens |
