ARROYO BAYO, by ELSA THUESEN First Line: Coyotes whimper to the night Last Line: The hunter's gun must have its say. Subject(s): Hunting; Hunters | ||||||||
Coyotes whimper to the night ... Bats fly in whippet flight ... The meadow pales into white By the moon's shadow light. Hills of brush rim the sky ... A wounded doe left to die ... Crickets sing to hush her cry Bones bleached white and dry. Night is folded, put away ... The sun drags in another day ... Hounds start their hollow bay The hunter's gun must have its say. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAMENT OF QUARRY by LEONIE ADAMS KILLDEER by KENNETH SLADE ALLING THE YOUNG FOWLER THAT MISTOOK HIS GAME by PHILIP AYRES A POEM ABOUT THE HOUNDS AND THE HARES by LISEL MUELLER |
