MANHUNT IN THE EVERGLADES, by HILDEGARD OTT RUSSELL First Line: Crack of pursuer's gun Last Line: Dogs on the scent. Subject(s): Everglades, Florida; Manhunts | ||||||||
Crack of pursuer's gun ... Hunter and hunted run ... Dogs on the scent. Bullets have found his thigh ... Yelps and a stifled cry, Startled things blunder by ... Dogs on the scent. Night spins a web to snare Hunter and hunted there. All but forespent, Panting and nose in air ... Dogs on the scent. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MORNING GLORY MAGIC by HILDEGARD OTT RUSSELL MOTHER'S GRIEF by HILDEGARD OTT RUSSELL NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS by HILDEGARD OTT RUSSELL POINSETTIA by HILDEGARD OTT RUSSELL BEARING LEAVES AGAIN by DAVID IGNATOW THE DAY OF THE DEAD SOLDIERS; MARY 30, 1869 by EMMA LAZARUS PICTURES OF MEMORY by ALICE CARY ANSWER TO A CHILD'S QUESTION by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE |
