Lurking in search of food
winter quickly approaching
bright colored autumn foliage
hides all hunters from the prey!
The wolf's nose wrinkles up
he'd picked up on a scent
he'd found supper for all
it smells very close now.
Down low he crouches to crawl
hidden under a broken limb
still full of autumns fine glory
concentrating, ready to attack.
A shot was fired way off
didn't scare him away
he slowly creeps forward
to get a good aim on his prey.
The fawn now seems to know
that something is very wrong
maybe it shouldn't had ventured
because now it appears it might die.
The wolf picks up another scent
it was a wolf of another pack
if needed they will fight
there's only enough food for one!
The deer's ear stood up in fright
it now has become very suspicious.
the hair on its back stood straight up
along with its tiny white tail.
The two wolves spot one another
snarling, down on their haunches
the little fawn stood between them
as they leap together, the deer runs.
They tear into each others with vengeance
very angry at each other and themselves
losing their dinner was very, very bad
lost all because of their male ego!

This is very detailed and brings you into it and keeps you there. I like that very much in a poem. Very good imagery and usage of words. The male ego huh? Yeah, with animals, maybe so, but I think it's also survival for food, but I guess in this case you did bring out that they lost the meal because they fought for dominance. Very good poem for making one think through. Loved it. Good luck in my contest and thank you for entering it. Have a good night.
