Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

             

Silent Hunter

Perched      from approaching  danger       quite at home high up on the tree   

gazing encompassing the full view of everything around me       

Listening to the whispers  of the  breeze   flowing through the forest trees  

Autumn leaves gracefully waltz   downward   on the woodland floor sea   

Movement sounds of rustling leaves beneath the canopy of trees   

Silently      I fly spreading my wings striking with my talons wide    

Down into the world with impact  force     I  snatch  my prey  with pride

Kathleen Kroll February 2, 2017 at 11:29 PM Hi Eve, You have done a great job of putting your reader in the hunter's place. I especially like the way your line arrangement adds to the drama of the hunter and the prey. Kathy

Charlotte Puddifoot May 2, 2016 at 3:06 AM this is a good piece of personification, with nice internal rhyming, and a strong last line "i snatch my prey with pride" - congrats on your win in andrea's contest!

Andrea Dietrich May 1, 2016 at 9:17 AM Eve, I can't believe I had not seen this one of yours before. the picture you chose to go with it WOW, and your words to describe yourself as an owl were lovely. Congrats in my contest. omg, I just realized I had envisioned an eagle when I wrote my blog for the winners. I better go and change that right now!! Eve Roper May 1, 2016 at 6:30 PM Thank you so very much, Andrea, Hugs eve

Timothy Hicks April 8, 2016 at 1:25 AM Sorry for the late response, Eve. And thanks for reading my silly "Who ARE You" poem. Lol is an acronym standing for "laugh out loud". Nowadays, people more-or-less use it to indicate a smirk or a chuckle, rather than a full blown braying laughter (unless you find it in all caps like this LOL). Eve Roper April 8, 2016 at 9:05 AM Thank you, Timothy, I had forgotten I ask. I thought it meant love you! Hugs

Shirley Rebstock March 19, 2016 at 5:30 PM A true poem, well done. My husband literally saw this yesterday. A hawk flew out of no where and with lighting speed caught a young woodpecker and flew up in the air with the poor bird making an awful sound knowing his fate. Sad though. Eve Roper March 19, 2016 at 5:54 PM Thank you, Shirley, I keep a lash on my dog when I walk him at night because of that same purpose. Hugs Eve
