Prey, found, targeted,

The stalk is a short one.

The question, the response,

Dances begun.



First dance, playful prance,

held apart, playful, testing, circling....

the first dance is done,

the prey not lost, the hunter not won.



Second dance, serious chance,

closer held, flirtatious, teasing...

the second dance is done,

the prey intrigued, the hunter having fun.



Third dance, last dance of seduction,

touching, caressing, gazing hungrily....

the third dance is done,

the prey is taken, the hunter done.
