Prey Poems - Poems about Prey

They're as swift as a lightning bolt, Just a stern gaze—gazelles revolt. A fleeting shadow in the night, All prey leap off in frantic fright. Stalking prey is their known special skill, A silent whisper, born to kill. Seventy miles per hour they race, Yet still they blaze with fiery pace. Their claws, a nightmare to all flesh, Though they prefer their meals served...

A feathered crowd of crows jostle together over roadkill. They peck and tear, lift a little in the air allowing other beaks to stab at a morsel. Iridescent black wings flap in the cram and bustle.

Then the hawk will descend to rummage...

She prowled the night horizon sniffing for prey oh, my here it came, happy hey, hey, hey, hey! She and her pack tore the animal quickly in half. So glad to be dining on a baby giraffe.

Early morning, someone screamed By Gracie Mansion* and it seemed A big white dog had found its prey And grabbed a squirrel, lithe and gray. The owner, frazzled, yelled and cried; Her pleas for help were not denied, For suddenly a man appeared And found the proof of what I’d feared.

The wild beast roams alone, Not so long ago did it have many friends, It remembers the times they shared, But all that came to an end, After one fateful day. Its friends had an argument, An argument really bad, All this the crocodiles noticed, And pounded on their victims, One by one. They all survived, But blamed the wild beast, It could not defend itself, Because its...

A bird on a wire Taking in the world Looking around about to fly Into the beauty of the sky Ruffling of feathers Body tensing for take-off Jumping from the limb Flapping of the wings As it soars majestically into the air Stretching it wings to full length Sweeping down into the Valley Hunting for its prey Screeching through the air Stretching its claws out Grab what is his An...

(I couldn't talk about it so I wrote a poem) Predator Heartbreak comes in many ways. The first one will haunt me for all my days. My every nightmare and dream has your face to ignite my screams, my heart beat haste. Time won't heal this shattered trust, the lies you told of the future “us”. You used your...
