THE HUNTER

entry picture

A poem to celebrate this eternal harbinger of winter.

 

I watch you in the winter’s sky as billions have before

Looking down the arrow’s shaft, the flight held to your jaw

You’ll never miss, nor ever kill the prey that you aim for

Condemned for all time to be a Hunter.

In one of his long stories, Stephen, Tolkien has one of his characters say to a hill, “‘Hill’? That’s a very little word for something so big and old”.

That's very short for you John, I was just getting comfortable with a cuppa & a 'ob nob. Didn't even have a sip ?.
Good one though!
