Hannah Borke Poet Rhyme

Predator Metaphor

At a spot of roadside, shaded
A predator on the prowl
Concealed itself and waited
for prey to run afoul…

Then, madly, with a dash,
It shot out from the thicket;
Nabbed one prey, in a *flash*
And slapped it with a ticket.

Paul Warren August 7, 2017 at 6:39 AM Interesting poem and slant on speed traps. Well done. Hannah Borke August 7, 2017 at 7:03 AM Thanks so much for appreciating this, although I thought you'd remember that I wanted your comment on my poem that included you -- which is "Pocks on Crocs". Please come back and comment on that one.
