Weeds and Bushes

by Tony Whitaker

weeds and bushes
hide their gaze
i wonder the size
fangs and eyes
beneath the leaves
to take their prey
by surprise

kill and survive
get caught and die
life in the woods
is cut and dry

Whew! And then there's the wildlife! ;-} Very starkly SSSSssss. Thanks for the reminder to watch better when I'm wandering around. I never think about it. I have no mercy with the shovel. None.

Wow! The succintness of this somehow adds to the sense of peril.
