Silent Hunter III By Anna and the Willow

Introduction

This is inspired by a piece by Anna and The Willow called "Silent Hunter III" which you can see here.

I first came into contact with Anna with her amazing "Huntress" in Skipton Castle Woods which you can read about at the end of this poem.

I have decided to use the villanelle format for this poem.

The Silent Hunter

☠️🦅🦉🦅☠️
Death Swoops Silently From The Sky
Creatures Run But They Cannot Hide
The Night Owl's Claws Lock On Their Prey
🦅🦉🦅
In Fields And Hedges Rats And Mice
Looking For Food, Eyes Open Wide
Death Swoops Silently From The Sky
🦅🦉🦅
Run And Hide, Then Try To Survive
To Know You Are Prey, Soon To Die
The Night Owl's Claws Lock On Their Prey
🦅🦉🦅
Up In The Air, The Owl Wil Spy
The Night's Sustenance, Flying By
Death Swoops Silently From The Sky
🦅🦉🦅
Death From Above, Down From On High
One More Small Creature Now Must Die
The Night Owl's Claws Lock On Their Prey
🦅🦉🦅
Silent Hunter, Warm Meat Supply
Rats, Mice, And More, Blood Never Dries
Death Swoops Silently From The Sky
The Night Owl's Claws Lock On Their Prey
☠️🦅🦉🦅☠️
