CREATIVE CHALLENGE: THE BEAST




One of the few Lisbon shops that sells hunting goods


He returned back home
From a hunting day,
He had shot a beast,
He was now in dismay.
The Animal Kingdom
Had lost its beauty,
The beast was a beast,
Being often snooty
But, inside his heart
There was sweetness,
Not always visible,
Not always noticed
By the other animals
That looked gorgeous
But... they were all so cruel!

    I have never understood the sport of hunting...this is a thought provoking piece and I love the photo that accompanies it too!

    I don't understand hunting as a sport, either. For food, yes, but not for sport. You wrote this beautifully, picking up on the sadness and causing me to be able to see the beast as it lay with a perplexed look on its face.

    I do not understand hunting, either. i know it is necessary at times for food, but I do not see the "sport" in it. Great poem, Belita. Love how you remind us how beauty is inside the beast... we should all remember that.

    Well, I do understand hunting, but I love this poem with it's reminder of beauty in the oddest of places.

    I understand hunting from the idea of having food but not just the sport of it.
    Well written.
