Stalked!, a poem by Harold Roy Miller, USA Other Animals Poems Other Not Categorized Poems DUAL CATEGORY THIS POET COUNTRIES Categories: Animals Poems & Not Categorized Poetry Viewed 1846 times Author: Harold Roy Miller, USA   Poem Stalked! The scattered clouds are floating loosely, hedged in by blue sky profusely. We are up in the high country of Zion hunting a killer mountain lion. The shadows broadcast late afternoon. We hope to find the puma soon, before the sun sinks behind the cliffs and our power advantage shifts. The horses' shoes clank on loose shale as we hug the walls of the rimrock trail. They shy away from the sheer edge- there are no u-turns on this ledge. The stealthy killer knows how to dodge; it's tawny body is camouflaged. It's doubtful that it will be found among the spires of chestnut brown. I suspect that the crafty feline who was out front, has circled behind. It's probably perched on a rocky knoll, peering down on us below. Our rifles are loaded, ready to fire as the rimrock trail progresses higher. The fugitive cat will be hard to spot. We might not even get off a shot. It has been hours since we've seen a track. The wily beast may have doubled back. now I see things are changing fast, this hunting trip could be our last. The horses are spooking, snorting fear. They can sense the big cat's near. When they saw the overhang, they balked because now the stalkers are the stalked!
