Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

What Was That

what had he glimpsed? A hairy black gorilla?
He was mesmerized as he stared into the forest.
It had moved as gracefully as a ballerina, but with longer strides.
What is it? His hunting partner asked.
He shook his head. I don’t know, he lied, knowing it was a Yeti.

Fascinating, at any rate. Caren Krutsinger March 7, 2022 at 10:24 AM I cannot believe they are not being captured at least as they die.
