Poem Artwork

The shadows of the mighty elk did beckon with his stature...
The eager fever of this man intense within this rapture
Of testosterone from males so great...this animal...this man
To call upon a mighty truce and calmly take a stand
Of where to mark the spot for now...the cartridge aimed just right
The warmth of fur to aid the chill is calling man tonight
And nature gives and man receives another warming gift
For animals are here for us... as insects are for swift..
Birds of flight that need to feed upon another world
And all in all the needs are met for each and every squirrel
The fruits and nuts are there for them and morsels from the earth
Are taken once again to give...to take...to feed and birth
Then Nature's circle is complete for all of us to gain
The feeding frenzy of our earth through nature's own food chain

Well said! I must agree with the others also, man is a selfish being that shall pay in the end for his own desires. The earth is delicate and we are relentlously taking.

Stay southern and keep writing.

You write as He intended. Sadly, man has disrupted this cycle. What will become of us if this circle remains broken?

God bless you. Kathy

Nature's food chain is a truly incredible thing, and it worked marvelously for eons. I think many of our modern day problems occur when we humans insist on disrupting this ancient chain, or unbelievably, even attempt to create our own.

As I read this, The thought that comes to me is "Back to nature" I believe we were once one with her, yet we broke that bond in the name of progress. Nature has sacrificed her all and we have sacrificed very little to try to give back to her. And where has progress landed us? On a downhill spiral toward our demise. The time is now for rethinking our destiny. This is a very important message.

Love, Pierre

The beauty of nature is that circle. Enjoyed

As long as a person hunts for the purpose of food/providing for his family/fellow man, I have no problem; just to kill an animal for fun is something I'll never understand, let alone, accept. Very well penned, Susan; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Susan,

Although I am against hunting for sport, when someone kills an animal for food, I have no problem with it. Agree with Fee, below: a hunter should eat what he shoots and abide by the laws. An excellent write of the circle of life.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Well said and as a man who hunted in past and used the meat to feed his family when times were lean I do not begrudge the honest hunter his sport if he eats whant he shoots and abides by the countries wildlife laws.
