Back in 2015 when I put together this collection of poems, I snuck one of my own poems from 7th grade into the collection.  Just to see if I could get away with it.  (No one's called me out on it yet.)  So now that I'm doing listening videos for all of them, I figured I might as well sneak in a listening video for this one as well.

The Wolf Hunt: poems

Video: https://youtu.be/zs_CjvNlymY

Wolves have to hunt

For them it is quite a stunt

First they go and stare at the deer

This fills the creatures with fear

Then the deer begin to run

And the hunt has begun

The wolves pick up the pace

And so begins a furious chase

Then a wolf with all his might

Caught up to a deer and gave her a bite

The deer kicked the wolf really hard

The wolf went flying almost a yard

The wolf went up for a flight

It was really quite a sight

The wolf went through the air with a flash

And landed on the ground with a great big crash

Another deer stood up to fight

With hooves that shone as black as night

He kicked a wolf and gave a bellow

He was really quite a strong fellow

The wolves passed him by he was not their pick

They wanted a deer who was old and sick

Then they found the perfect prey

It would be the kill of the day

The wolves then closed in

Each one thinking of the pups in the den

If they could bring it down there would be meat for all

Even the pups who were very small

Then a wolf attacked as he leapt through the air

And bit down hard into deer hair.

The deer screamed and shook her back

Then did all the other wolves attack.

There was fighting and biting and a great deal of kicking,

As the wolves gave the deer a licking

Then as all the other deer fled

Lay the wolves' deer, who was dead

That night there was meat for all,

Even the pups who were very small
