Prey - Senryu

sounds like the casual
sadism of a cat I once
had..!  although I've
known people worse...

Yeah, people are mostly
worse than animals since
they are calculating and
cruel on purpose.
Good to know that you know.

Funny enough, Ive just mention a bird of prey in my previous comment and now I read your poem...
Seems there are times when themes alike gather on DU...

Yes, you're right, Fay, I recently read a senryu with the title 'Wounded' after I posted 'Prey' and referred to wounds :-). Perhaps it's spring and love and lost love - who knows that animates us to ponder about similar topics. It's interesting, isn't it?

Awesome write and read Ms. Chi!!!
Love this!!

Sir Lancelott

Glad you love it, Lance! Would you love to be the predator or rather be hunted down by a sexy woman? Sometimes it's not that bad to be the prey :-).

I would love too be the prey for a change!!

See? I'm sure you're prey often enough :-).

Yes, Gabriel. Humans wound just for fun. And that's in vain. Why hurt others? What's the purpose of that?

& that's a teasing game...

It is if the players are of the same value. Oftentimes the predator just rips out an inferior heart for fun.

I know you're speaking of romantic predators ... But having recently been bent over and raped by the federal and state government for tax payments ... I saw this piece in another light

Hahaha sweet LSP! You made me laugh out loud! I bet you see this poem in a different light now! I so agree with you!!!

snake in the grass...

Just tread on it and then RUN!

love it

Happy to read that, sharneindium. Always glad when my message seems to be conveyed properly.

Hey lady I ONLY prey on the willing!
I resent...HUH? OHHH u weren't referring to me!!?? Oh, damn well nevermind lol... Seriously, another
Concise, strong spill! :)

Sweety! You weren't meant since the one to whom I referred is anti-social. You don't seem anti-social to me :-). Thanks for your attention, dear Poe :-)!

People can be cruel and unusual. Great job!

Yes, Sarah, people can be cruel and abusive. Thank you so much for your comment!
