In My Crosshairs

Shaunmatthewcpoetry

I've got this beast right in my crosshairs,

Body must be at least as big as two bears.

In some deep forestry, his fury coat I see,

If I approach slowly will he be friendly?

A growl scares birds, sounds more like deadly.

He turns around and faces right in this direction,

I ducked and left the area for my own protection.

    A fun read and although it seems just good fun underneath there is a message a hidden metaphor for courage or lack there of. Well done in good rhyme.

    Well, too civilized looking to be a politician at least. He's a bit flat-footed! Smart move to duck and run! 🤣 A fun read, my friend!
