The Death

The trigger lay steady and sardonic
 in the hands of the ready stalker.

She lays unaware , a spot for each grand representation
 of naiveness in her hair.
Full of innocence; didn’t even have chance to mature.
 For the hunter was to ensure the value of her fur, 
by stripping her bare of what she had earned.

She was nothing more than her new found horror

Your poem is chilling and evocative, with a stark portrayal of innocence lost. The language is raw and haunting. The emotional impact is undeniably powerful and unsettling.

Im glad you was able to know my intention with the poem, i was a little worried that itd be seen as just a hunting rather than losing innocent, im glad you liked it thank you.
