Poet's Corner: "The Huntress"

Her appetite is building waiting until the moment is right

She devises her plan and keeps the blueprint tight

You won't see it coming and she's about to strike

Sizing up her prey; it's too late

You’re already locked in her sights

No need for bait or decoys here

She's already close enough to taste your fear

Stealth like a jet yet easy as the breeze

Like the tigress in the jungle

The queen bee in a swarm

I am a huntress on the prowl

Constantly wanting more

Storm clouds loom and set the eerie scene

Rolling sounds of thunder

Fertile earth at her feet

Lightening illuminates the dark sky

Just then you might get a peek

As her eyes glow with hunger

Your heart skips a beat

The fury of the Huntress

Grows strong and more fierce

She moves with the rhythm of nature

Slithering close to the ground

Then she pounces like a lioness

Her prey is taken down

No man has the audacity

Or balls strong and brash

To purposefully cross

The Huntresses' dangerous path

But if you have the misfortune

Of becoming the next one

Pray that her hunger is strong

And your pain won't last long

Her claws are like talons

As sharp as a samurai's blade

Her eyes pierce like spears

Instantly you become her slave

Her precision is impeccable

Exact like a surgeons scalpel

Watch your back if the Huntress is after you

Revenge is her motive and she makes it quite clear

Giving a much needed lesson

To those she's wasted tears

She's as cold as ice and that's the way she prefers it

Like a vulture circling overhead

Once in her debt she must be fed

Payback's a bitch

And there's no way to deter it

I am a Huntress on the prowl and

My revenge will be perfect
