Lena Townsend Poet Free verse

Beware: the Night Hunter

Lurking in the shadows 
Stalking her prey
A hunger burning inside of her
Taking pleasure in the hunt
She watches and waits
Like a panther sleek and silent
She moves in for the kill
Entranced by pheromones 
Her prey surrenders
Claws extended
She takes him in her grasp
She feeds upon weakness
She dwells in deceit
This demonic creature
A prowler in the darkness
A mistress of the hunt
Resembling a woman

Sue Mason April 9, 2009 at 12:23 PM Ah yes, I remember it well ... LOL ... nothing like old age to end the hunting ... This is a wonderful write, Lena!! Love the "entranced by pheromones" line ... The "Form" is Free Verse and the category I might choose would be "People" ... you can always edit back into the write and add this ... or not, just a suggestion ... smile ...

Alley Poe April 8, 2009 at 2:22 PM This is great! I really enjoyed this one@

Daver Austin April 6, 2009 at 2:33 PM Oh WOW! Men be careful! Lolita is giving you fair warning. If it looks like a woman, smiles like a woman, smells of perfume like a woman.....Oh my God! It aint necessarily a woman! Good write, Lena. Love, daver...and thanks for the smile.

Yoni Dvorkis April 6, 2009 at 8:21 AM Wow. Sounds like a fun night of clubbing on the town. I'm with L'nass on the yielding idea. Could be worse. At least she's not a Preying Mantis. I'd be slightly more worried. Not by much though:) Cool concept Lolita. -Yoni

L'Nass Shango April 6, 2009 at 7:38 AM And yet I am so mesmerized that I hunger to yield to her. I am still under your spell ... don't let go, you got me with your writes, I rather yield than face the fall. Peace and love

Constance La France April 5, 2009 at 7:49 AM This is so beautiful, I could just see her slinking along... I take jazz dancing lessons, and sometimes, I think we resemble cats, in our movements.. I caught my reflection once.. and cat it was...lol... Constance

Pawlu Pascarawlu April 4, 2009 at 2:00 PM I think I may have met this night hunter on more than one occasion, excellent poem.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen April 4, 2009 at 9:01 AM Cats are wonderful and mysterious. And big cats, like powerful women, can be dangerous....Don't you think?

Belinda Parish April 3, 2009 at 10:59 PM Love this write Lena...she sounds dangerous

Carolyn Devonshire April 3, 2009 at 2:37 PM The huntress "Stalking her prey" is very intriguing and, as you say, "demonic." Awesome work, Lolita!
