Naked Prey
Spotted beside the road
We stop and stare
She stands still
Frozen, watching us
Her naked beauty
Sleek smooth pure
In all her unguarded splendor
She is our gift
Before the next moment
Bounding away, into the forest

Tells a story in ten lines. Vivid visual imagery and flowing rhythm. This work has staying power
I see through your poem this startling moment that seems to slow down time just long enough to allow a full embrace of something beautiful—-makes me think about how memory holds on to these unexpected moments that hit us in profound ways. Your poem is a gift too– Thank you!
Love this frozen in time moment – nature snapshot of wonder.
