WPC: Against the Odds February 18, 2017sandyjwhite Birds, Nature, Photography, Photos, Poetry, Weekly Photo Challenge Tags: Weekly Photo Challenge No call to run or scream or shout Just because I am about With pinpoint vision I zero in On chosen prey I aim to win Swooping down with talons sharp Piercing quickly through the heart Never killing out of greed Taking only what I need _________________________ As Mourning Doves scattered in all directions, a Sharp-shinned Hawk, against the odds, managed to skillfully score a meal.
