Instinctive Critter

Stalking,.....waits awhile

She inhales the woodland airs.....

Animals beware......

Nose to tail the vixen stares.......

Fixated,....... her prey beguiles.....

Quite a compelling poem, Theresa! It captivates the reader and makes us wonder which specie of animal is "fixated" and ready to pounce on the next prey. Well done. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn

Hi Carolyn, So kind of you to take the time to read and I am very pleased you found this poem to your liking. It is a vixen fox who is 'fixated'. The prey, it could only be a bunny rabbit, aaah.... Big hug for your wonderful comments. Regards Theresa xx
