Moving through the hunting grounds,
looking for its prey.
               Silence, stealth, swiftness.
          Stalking its prey with eyes on target.
    Waiting for its time,
        preparing for a strike.
   Making the final move, boom,
all you hear is a squeal.
       Quietness floods the grounds,
       Food for a week  keeps it from starvation.
     Back home to a cold freezer,
      to keep the food for later.
