    Winter Kill

    Mountain lion was here yesterday,

    an elk was killed and taken away.

    Red spots stained soft white snow,

    few pieces of flesh still remained.

    Peaceful tranquil settled surreal landscape.

    Snow storm soon coming,

    wild country full of mystery.





    This poem was inspired and written during the snowmobile tour from Jackson Hole to Yellowstone Park on Feb, 2008

    A good poem with such few words, leaving me there with you smelling the puma piss still lingering in the thick cold air.

    Thank you. Please comment on my other poems. I am reading yours now. Keep in touch. Thanks again. You inspired me to write more.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
