Winter Attacks

Winter enters on the back of a puma Speeding into the deep valley for a kill Eyes affixed on its prey for devouring As victims saw in its eyes, the thrill The waiting prey is smart but so weak As unprepared does it seem to always be But this season, with hope, it’ll escape By climbing the mountains high to be free Lest not be overcome with the attack The snow would surely ravage the prey Move, prepare, don’t sit so idly by If you see it coming, get out of the way

I really can feel this poem. I am sure you are speaking on two levels, at least. It is a very enjoyable work, both because of its wording and because of the message. The imagery is very good---the description of the puma is excellent. They are beautiful animals, but also very deadly. Thanks much for sharing this meaningful poem. PL
