Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Kimo

The Remains of An End

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

                                wing   imprints in the snow

Paul Callus March 22, 2019 at 4:25 PM Your Kimo says it all, Maureen. We can follow the script and picture the whole sad drama evolving. In my eyes, a sure winner! Warm regards // paul Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 22, 2019 at 5:00 PM ...that said, the violence captured in relief was spectacular. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 22, 2019 at 4:50 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!

Vijay Pandit March 22, 2019 at 11:29 AM You always say so much in just a few words, Maureen..this is brilliant! Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 22, 2019 at 12:53 PM Thank you so much Vijay! :))) xomo!

Jeff Connelly March 22, 2019 at 10:36 AM Brilliant as always. For some reason I see a Snowy Owl dining. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 22, 2019 at 12:51 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 March 22, 2019 at 9:36 AM ...and the hawk leaves not footprints....very nicely done Mo Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 22, 2019 at 9:47 AM I like that. Thank you John :) xomo

Vickie Hurtt - Thayer March 21, 2019 at 6:05 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. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 21, 2019 at 8:54 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

Eve Roper March 21, 2019 at 1:25 PM Great Kimo, Maureen, the imagery is great. Good luck in the contest. Hugs Eve ~`* Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 21, 2019 at 8:46 PM Thank you Eve! My first :))) xomo!

Tom Cunningham March 21, 2019 at 1:19 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'. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 21, 2019 at 8:44 PM Death wish hare without a care! That reminds me of Bermuda, the roads every morning littered with toads ;) xomo!

M. L. Kiser March 21, 2019 at 12:47 PM This was so vibrant in imagery that I had to "fav" it. Just excellent! Good luck in the contest. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 21, 2019 at 12:58 PM Wow! Thank you so much M.L., the image is seared in my memory :) xomo!

Kim Rodrigues March 21, 2019 at 9:21 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. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 21, 2019 at 10:01 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 March 21, 2019 at 9:11 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) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 21, 2019 at 9:42 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
