Arrow In Flight

Peck, peck, peck,
stand alert, feathers fluffed, head-up,
Watch, be on guard,
get ready to take flight
This is the pheasant

Never know when a predator
is lurking, sneaking, ready to pounce
Ready to attack, ready to kill

Rooster in all its glorious colors
struts and pecks, pecks and struts
Hen waits an expected distance away
for her turn at the corn pile

Woman watches, she sits stalk still
Yet, rooster somehow knows
Pulling itself in like an arrow in flight,
senses woman's presense, takes off,
flying through dried cattails and 
wintering willows
