Is something afoot?

Question: Is something afoot!?

City hunter

Grayish tones
Silent breezes
Whispered sounds
A coyote speaks

Sirens call
Lights moving
Sounds carrying
A coyote speaks

Nighttime
Opening arias
Unfolding scenes
The coyote huntsWww@QuestionHome@Com

FINALLY!!! A poem! I'm so proud!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am very impressed!. You established the mood so well with so few words!. This has the feel of film noir!. In the second line of the last stanza, did you mean arias or areas!? Arias works for me!. It conveys a vivid images of what might take place in the unfolding scenes!.

I love the economy of language!. It moves like a creature on the prowl!.

Well done!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Whether calm,
or bustling city,
through them all
A coyote speaks!.

Is that the meaning, I am uncertain!. However, in Native American folklor, the coyote was the trickster character, so another metaphor is that no matter what time it is, watch your back, always, be alert, and on your guard!. Lovely!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Coyote hunter by 2nd stanza you lead me to believe, just maybe
your words are of the illegal issue!.
You do leave one in a mystery, but capture in a few words
a bit of the now events, if my mind takes me righty to your
written word!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, coyotes hunt in the major cities now!.!.!.!.but this ain't about no coyote!.
I know the hunted, don't I!. And, when the pack gets together, it can bring down a Bison!.
Arrow-straight, Neon! Weaving of words makes such magnificent tapestries of meaning!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Sounds like the end of day, the only thing missing in my world is the coyote!. I like it, thanks!. At this moment I hear the beginning, the sound of the water fall and distinct cry of the bird moving towards the yard!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This has the anxiety and tension of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower!." Were you inspired by it!? I love your placing a wild beast of prey into an urban context, it has the ring of truth!. Keep on howling!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Animals have nowhere else to go!. Now they are hunting children in the city, or at least see children as food for their own young!. It is tragic for animals and for homo sapiens!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's something creepy here, abstract violence or something else, some other sort of hunter, seeking prey of a different type!. Either way, creepy, and nicely done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can just hear that scary music playing and I can't watch those movies because I get nightmares! Good thing I didn't read this before bed last night!
Well done!Www@QuestionHome@Com
