The Remains of An End

rabbit tracks   darting   coming to an end
      
                          saga scripted in relief...

                                wing   imprints in the snow

Warm regards // paul Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/22/2019 5:00:00 PM ...that said, the violence captured in relief was spectacular. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/22/2019 4:50:00 PM Thank you Paul. I am intrigued by the varied response to this piece; seeing the tracks was the opposite of sad for me, thrilled that not only do I have rabbits living on my street, but raptors too, nature thriving despite the city. :) xomo!

Jeff Connelly Date: 3/22/2019 10:36:00 AM Brilliant as always. For some reason I see a Snowy Owl dining. Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/22/2019 12:51:00 PM I'm pretty sure it was an owl, it was just up the street from me- not prime hawk hunting- accepiters aside, lots of Cooper's Hawks and Falcons around. Thank you Jeff!

John Lawless Date: 3/22/2019 9:36:00 AM ...and the hawk leaves not footprints....very nicely done Mo Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/22/2019 9:47:00 AM I like that. Thank you John :) xomo

Vickie Hurtt - Thayer Date: 3/21/2019 6:05:00 PM Oh...Winner Please! Being a raptor lover and having found at least twenty Cooper's hawk. Red tail hawks and Owl feathers, this is a favorite of mine. Good Luck...Vickie. Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/21/2019 8:54:00 PM Oooh! An enviable collection! ;) Peeked out my front door today in time to see a female Cooper's Hawk in a sneak attack. I had my Merlin and Peregrine feather collection, but having pet birds I don't bring any home anymore. Thank you Vickie! xomo

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/21/2019 1:19:00 PM Poor bunnies, when I used to go out to work at 04.00 Id see them at the side if the road and as I passed they'd run out in front of my car, must have been my headlights'. Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/21/2019 8:44:00 PM Death wish hare without a care! That reminds me of Bermuda, the roads every morning littered with toads ;) xomo!

Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/21/2019 9:21:00 AM Intricate ideas here. I can see the wing imprints...wow! Perhaps the wounded flies with its newfound wings. That saga scripted in relief is the part that gets my attention. Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/21/2019 10:01:00 AM Thank you Kim. I have been twice blessed to come across owl prints in the snow, me being the kind of birder that relishes finding pigeon wings... signs of happy hawks ;) ...been waiting years for this poem. xomo!

Pat Adams Date: 3/21/2019 9:11:00 AM I'm not a hunter, so this seems sad to me. Some don't care about the life of the wild I suppose, or just think of it as sport. I'm not real brilliant, so I may be missing the point. Regardless, it brings emotion from me, so I thank you for that. Well done my friend and good luck in the contest!.......80) Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 3/21/2019 9:42:00 AM I'm no hunter, but I love raptors. Sad if you love rabbits. ;) I love all nature being natural. I saw these tracks in the snow a couple years ago, the story of an owl hunting rabbits in my neighbourhood, Thank you my friend! xomo
