The Evening Meal

After reading this poem, many of you will see that I am not a hunter, although I do not object to those who are.


                    Silently watching,
                    and intently listening,
                          the doe and fawn
                          munched on the nearly frozen
                     apples beneath the
                     naked branches of the only
                          tree left in the field.
                          Waiting in the firs
                     surrounding the field,
                     the hunter stood with
                          finger on the trigger,
                          thankful he had no one
                     armed and waiting
                      next to his dining room
                          where he would soon be
                           eating his next evening meal.
