2. The Hunt
(Free Style)

I go out
to the woods
and valleys
and the lakes.

I'm on safari
to hunt
the wildlife about,

to seek the birds
or bears
eagles and seagulls
or even insects
out.

I'll climb hills
walk trails
and do
whatever it takes

to get a shot,

but still
I will not

take a life.

For my hunt is
only with the camera's eye.

My capture delights
are made of
digital sights,
where none of my
hunted targets
will ever die.

My rarest trophies come
contained
in megabites.

I roam
to bring memories home
not to
take a life.

When I'm home,
I write a poem.




Recognized


Missed the Motto Contest. Liked the concept. Thought I'd combine it with a little more meat, so I wrote a Free Style poem to go with it.

This picture is of me, taken by my wife along the Bruce Vento trail. It was when I had a beard, and was taken April 10, 2012.
