The Hunt
The Hunt
A flash of silver,
A glimmer of gold,
A low growl,
In the midst of the cold.
The smell of the hunt,
The howl of victory,
The life-giving flesh,
The prey’s whereabouts no longer a mystery.
The long trek up the mountains,
The warmth of the cave,
The nuzzling and licking,
The feeling of having nothing to crave.
At the spine-shivering chorus of the pack’s howls,
The moon seems to jump with fright,
Then the night turns quiet again,
This is the thrill of a wolf’s hunt.

The Cat And The Mouse
The Cat And The Mouse
Two sets of paws on the floor,
One predator,
And one prey…
The chase between life and death,
Has begun.
One increases their pace,
It’s tiny heartbeat quickens…
The other proud and fierce,
Over-confident in their stealth…
The smaller runs faster than ever,
The larger without a care.
And then…!!!!!
The quarry scurries into its hole,
The hunter outwitted growls in
distress.
The sound of relief so great,
That it is silent.

"I became them" Brilliant new poetry by Shainur Ullah
When I studied them, I became interested
When I became interested, I heard of them
When I heard of them, I saw them
When I saw them, I met them
And when I met them, I became them.
I like this exploration of how things influence us, and how it means that we become at total of all the experiences we have, whether we like it or not. A great concise shwoing of how that happens. Well Done!
This is brilliant and insightful! I wouldn't change a thing. It is exactly how i feel when I discover a new (well,new to me) branch of history, new genre of books, or a form of art. Thank you for expressing that feeling of oneness to every new study in life
This is how it all works!! Getting to the bottom of things requires getting there first, once there one becomes one with them. I am impressed by this relatively simple equation that you have put in place which is both effective and true at all times.
You have a great gift for capturing much in the smallest of nets. One is then left to marvel at the valuable treasures therein. Excellent write and read!!! applauded
Simple but efficient ! It pictures the stages one could go through once introduced to particular knowledge that one finds interest in , I suppose and when i met them ,i became them could be interpreted as the influence someone had upon you in a positive way .It could also be though them you identified something that you desired in life and wanted so badly to have .Once you saw that it is achieveble "i became them " .It.s as if when we see something we want in others we try to copy them or imitate them so we can have what they have to ! Hope this makes sense !
the poem can be interpreted in a dark foreboding sense or in the Sufi tradition of 'Oneness'.
This is an interesting introspection into the social structure and process behind the scenes of life. Very true and to the point. Nicely done.

"Welcome, old friend" by Jason Owings
"Welcome, old friend" by Jason Owings
Welcome, old friend
Share a meal
with me
partake in simple
conversation
I will turn down
your bed
should you choose
to stay
And when the dawn
breaks
if I find you deep
in slumber
or
your bed unused
I will say this
upon our next meeting

I really like this poem, it is true and well expressed, doesn't have too many lines, its short and to the point but the meaning is conveyed very well.

interesting... I think maybe it should start with "I heard of them???
I like this because it makes the reader thin
When I became interested, I heard of them
