Born in the wild
Learning to survive
Before he was weaned
Cold, calculating eyes
Set upon the prey
Brindled fur
Stood on the edge of anticipation
Methodical stalking
Barely a rustle of leaves
The breeze carries a scent
Of live food afoot
Head lifts
Toward the full moon
A howl splits
The silence of the night
The hunt has begun

Hi
This poem reminds me of Jack London's ' Call of the Wild,' I like it a lot.

Hi
I enjoyed reading your poem. You expressed everything so well it was as if I were in the story watching it. Nicely written, very descriptive like a movie. A definite 5 star!

Shades of Jack London!
A wonderful tale of the stirrings of life in the wild! I like it much!
Methodical stalking
Barely a rustle of leaves
