Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Heart Stopping Scream

Heart stopping scream.
Permeates the woods.
A woman being murdered.

I grab my flashlight.
I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
I glare at my friend.

A woman is being killed.
I am going to save her.
That was a bobcat, she says.

I come right back to the deck.
There are no more screams
But yips of coyotes.

L Milton Hankins June 13, 2021 at 8:32 AM I hate coyotes. They gang up on smaller animals and rip their entrails out. Disgusting creatures. We have them, too, here in the small city of Ashland. Caren Krutsinger June 13, 2021 at 2:04 PM We have them and when we hear wild yipping my blood turns cold.
