This week’s prompt from Sue Vincent of Daily Echo is Signs.
I wrote a Tanka then reversed the verse which though no longer a Tanka still flow and made sense… I hope.
The reverse idea comes from micketalbot
Signs
Then on green felt ‘proudly’ hung?
Killed by man alone
Why display this in your home
A sign man still has to grow.

A sign man still has to grow
Why display this in your home
Killed by man alone
Then on green felt proudly hung
Bleached white by the sun.

I agree, Willow… I hate hunting for sport. Food, I can understand… but not trophies. These, thankfully, are not exactly that…

I did wander but I went with my first thoughts. I do agree hunting for food can be s nesscity… But trophy hunting no. π

Had they just been trophies, the photo would not have been published, but I will be interested to see what it inspires this week… β€
