Storyteller (Nonet #1)

Shadows cover the bullet by half. Father buck scavenges berries. Offspring of His fathers faith. Man waits high in the larch. Cumbersome stomach. Rifle prepared. Trustworthy. Patient. Time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18CJGlp5eiI

Author notes This poem is written in two major, and one non major forms of poetry. Main form is written in the Nonet form of poetry: "The nonet has nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, the second eight and so forth until the last line closes with one syllable. The subject can be anything the poet wishes and there is no mandatory rhyme scheme."
