A Hunters Epitaph

by Ashleigh Skye   May 24, 2007


A dying bird,
The one we all heard,
Washed up upon the shore.

Its back was broke,
It hardly spoke,
But its eyes shone with something more.

It then let out a cry,
And down from the sky,
Flew birds of all description.

They bit through the skin,
For the hunters never win,
And now all you see is this inscription.

*Epitaph: a short text honoring a deceased person, strictly speaking that inscribed on their tombstone or plaque*
