Beast

Moving through the forest
seeking with intense yellow eyes
watching, waiting...so very hungry
stalking, hunting for its prize

In this dark gloomy forest
where hiding doesn't require skill
the beast with a savage appetite
soon something it will kill

The beast's howl rings outward
it sought and now it has found
an unlucky human being
killed with hardly any sound

The beast feeds and is satisfied
it now returns to it's lair
soon its slumbering the day away
content, peaceful, without  a care

Very ominous and frightening! Nice pen on this.

[Black Cat Fever]

Overall a wonderful dark poem, the end was rather chilling, thinking of this creature as content after its bloody feast!

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

you create a taut atmosphere skilfully and draw an enigma through the air making me wonder if the beast is a beast in body or a beast in the mind of a human predator~ well done!~

This is a very well written and consructed poem. Such an enjoyable read as well.

Very nicely written. The atmosphere is very well constructed. We feel what the prey and the hunter are feeling. Really liked it.

Kinda describes a lot of people I know. Very eerie and frightening feel. What's so scary about it is the last two lines. Well written, flows with great description.
