sbeIIfan Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hunt I woke up this morning Hoping today was not boring Threw my bow in the truck Hoping to bag a big, big buck Their I sit in my tree blind Anxious and confined But now I hear something from behind I see a big buck Hoping to have some luck Pull out my bow and draw Hoping I do not flaw I hunted I think its good for 20 minutes.

sbeIIfan Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hunt is the title, if you were wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Looks OK to me. There is no wrong way to write poetry, except maybe when it's written for a hip-hop backbeat I would encourage you to think about the hunt a little more and about what you like about it, what you don't like about it. Express what happens in all those hours spent where non-hunters think we're bored and don't see ANYTHING. Tell the story like you're telling it to a blind man or a deaf person. Sights, sounds, smells, feelings, senses tingling. Suddenly you're on alert! You're not sure if you heard something or felt something, but something's got your eyes cutting in all directions and the hair on the back of your neck is tingling. There it is again! Still can't pinpoint it, but it's something there and it's coming closer! This is the moment I live for in the hunt. At this point, you are so intuned to what you're doing that if someone were to suddenly ask you your own name, you've have to say, "could you repeat the question?".
