Moose Encounter
In his element, with eyes glaring,
The beast snorts out of his nostrils
Like a steam locomotive
All fired up, flaring!
On legs as high as my shoulders;
His front hooves paw the ground,
And the muscles flex,
Beneath the thick, dark fur coat!
His head lowers;
Displaying
A massive antler rack
(Swaying back and forth;
And the bell
Almost touching the ground)
Preparing to do battle!
–I shudder!
And look to my escape.
Then things turn for the better.
The bull moose realizes
I am not the competition
Seeking a mate,
And continues browsing
As if I weren’t there.
