Rocky Mountain Elk

The Provocateur There was a rumble in the brush that sent a tremble and a rushSo difficult to endure … Enter The Provocateur Agitation was brewing in the undergrowth. A mighty dare was fiercely fomenting within the constricting confines of the brushy bramble and the agitated author came in the irrepressible guise of an imposing bull Rocky Mountain Elk. The Provocateur was methodically working himself into a full-blown frenzy and the underwood was no match for his fury as he used his massive-beamed weaponry to rake and rip the fragile forest fabric.  Eventually the bellicose brute came to the edge of the thick woodland and belted out a chillingly eerie challenge. The pronouncement was a passionate summons, “Come, let’s fight!” ~ Poem, anecdote and Rocky Mountain Elk capture, The Provocateur © Jerry L. Ferrara 

There Comes A Call Listen to fall, there comes a call The voice does tell of coming hell Where titans clash and landscapes thrash The winner’s fate, the claim to mate ~ Poem and Rocky Mountain Elk capture, There Comes A Call © Jerry L. Ferrara
