Fleeing nefarious intent As watched through a spyglass Running for forest's protection With fast steps of chasse Rifle in his hands aimed, ready Will the quick shot be heard? What will he do with a body? Suddenly vision blurred How can murder be on his mind Once his love for her shone But now hardness upon his face Matching his heart of stone He'd lost control of her he knew She was now in the way Now she's beyond his reach He'd find her in a few days Escaped by magic so it seemed His life now out of control He could not rest in peace, eat, or Think, his power she stole How will this thickening plot end I cannot really say Only a snapshot of the scene shown I think she got away Written: December 30, 2022 Contest: Beyond Reach Sponsor: Mystic Rose

This kind of fleeing and chase are not uncommon these days. Hope she will able to move away from his reach. A tension packed poem dear Sara, powerfully written.

Valsa, I do understand that it does happen so much these plus there are so many that don't get a chance to get away. Thanks for the nice review of my work. Sara

wow, have you been watching some of the shows on ID channel? Sadly, kids don't usually get away from bad men or women, but sometimes a lucky few DO.

Andrea, It is true that men who get women or girls under their control unusally don't let them get away. There are some really bad things that happen that are retold on those channels like ID. I do watch some from time to time. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to comment. Sara

Dear Sara, your golden pen has created such a harrowing scene. So many tragic moments culminate in your verses as they move toward the grand finale.. indeed, let’s hope she was beyond reach of the bullet. Sad to know that such situations exist. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you and yours for a healthy, happy and inspiring new year.. ~Susan

I like the way you've ended this poem... A bit of a cliffhanger, but with a hint of a happy ending... Really great work, Sara... My best wishes for the contest!
