Hunted Poems

Let's talk peace

The hunter becomes the hunted...
What if there was a role reversal?
Let's all just get along ~

the hunted

hawk sits at distance 
watching me mow by old barn 
waiting for a mouse

Kingdom Power-Jesus is hunted even before HE ministers

The past cannot quench His Power
The future cannot quench His Power
The present cannot quench His Power
Nothing can hold back the Power of Jesus

As a baby He was hunted
His birth was plaque with problems
But His purpose was Eternal
No problem could stop the life of Christ—Not even death
As a child Jesus was feared by His enemies
Before He

Hunting The Hunter

Moonlight shines on the lake,
The gentle ripples make it shimmer
in the eyes like slivers of silver,
Dancing on the unstill water surface.

In the chilly, late Autumn evening,
The cold wind blows across
Welcoming the winter
With it, stabbing icy daggers.

A lone stranger on the deserted road
Walks with a forced stoop,
To prevent the onslaught
Of the unkind wind on his harrowed

An Elegy For the Hunted Dove

In a nest of straw, a gentle dove once dwelled,
Seeking peace amidst the urban's frantic maze.
With tireless toil, she fashioned dreams untold,
Her sanctuary rising amidst chaos' haze.

Her eggs, more than mere shells, held hope's embrace,
Promising joys yet to dance upon the wind.
With patient grace, she waited for the day,
When dreams, like petals, would their wonders

A Hunted Life

The deer stands in peace 
The hunter approaches soft
Death opens its wings

Men Hunted Women Talked

When men hunted as a group 
facing danger as a troop
heartbeat pounding on a loop 
probably with pee and poop 
silently they’d gravitate 
encircle as they separate 
yet as one coordinate 
attacking to eliminate 
get it wrong it could be fatal 
survive it and be very grateful 
facing death becoming faithful 
gamble when the risk

Hunter the Hunted

Jared Kushner needed some cash
And TWO BILLION is quite a stash
One must make amends
For cash among friends
But Trump's word was there in a flash!*


*Trump re-directed media attention
from Kushner's suspect "Affinity Partners"
to Hunter Biden's laptop. 

Hunter Hunted

venus fly trap smiles
beauteous trichomes seduce 
hapless spider prey

Jack's Choice

I've spent the evening hunting, as I'm wont to do
and choosing for tonight an older lass,
I hold the shop door open while she passes through
and as it closes, watch her in the glass

Her face is plain, no trace of paint unlines her skin,
her matted hair is gathered in a bun
Beneath the shabby dress, her frame

The Hunted Hunter

The hunted hunter 
Change your ways oh man
Be in peace with your soul 
Why do you keep hunting 
For what you cant replace 
How many of us must die 
Just for you to be richer 
Must our blood and pains
Be an elevator to a greedy ambitions
The time is ticking 
The table is turning 
Oh Stop

Sonnet 66 'Upon a Time Ago, I Hunted Love'

Upon a Time ago, I hunted Love,
And thought, if I could catch it, it would stay.
But fear's hard by upon the catching of –
Love's happiness the debt you have to pay.
And then I thought that flying on wax wings
Was how I might match flight with joking Love
A heart that’s happy ever and always sings
Will raise

Have Hunted and Confronted

Have Hunted and Confronted

For many things we have hunted,
Then perplexed person confronted,
Face to face;
Place to place,
Who gave us all which we wanted.

November 1968: The Hunted 

Got divorced couple years ago, second time
At first, I mirror myself as a low-life loser

Jack without Jill, McGee without Molly
Ossie without Harriot, Adam absent Eve 

No fourth finger, gold band of respectability
Instead wagging digits of family and friends

Then discover a stimulating, singles society
Connect at cocktail lounges and corner bars

dating services, social

Hunter, Hunted

 Leopard sneaks up close...
An unsuspecting gazelle
 Pounce! Dinner's ready...
