Notes About The Poem

- Hunting Season -

                       A gray haze above
                       the mountain that blackened
                       Trembling birch in front of the cliff

                       The goose flies with haste to the south
                       over rootless stream
                       An outpost ... hunting and trapping time

                       Life on earth is fleeting
                       Death makes us thinking
                       on the meaning of life

My dad use to go hunting in the fall in the hope of helping to provide for our large family. I remember my sister and I one chilly fall morning listening to the hum of the jeep as my dad left for a hunting trip in Northern California. We stood and waited as the hum of the engine died away as they drove into that quiet grey morning. This really evoked memories of my dad. Thank you for writing this excellent poem.

It is a pity to se random killing. We have always an on going fight in Malta where we have more guns than birds. Hugs.

- We have strict rules when it comes to buying weapons in Norway... (but, many know how to avoid the rules... unfortunately) - Hunting has been held for more than two million years ago... but, only for hunger - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Hunting for food I agree with but not those who kill for sport. Hope you're keeping well Anne. Greetings from Spain. Tom
