The Hunt

Through the undergrowth, I hunt you
with absolute
concentration,
with ardor infused.

With trepadatious steps,
I pursue you on top of dying
leaves.

You slow,
and I put an arrow
in my bow.
You bend and I see you’re in heat.
I pull the arrow back and
release.

Whap.

The arrow connects
with your nubile
skin. I approach and remove
your fur.

The imagery of sex was vivid to me. But I think that most of the lines are cut short unneccessarily. Two or three of them would have done better as one single line.

Your fifth and sixth line make the fun in this poem a little too obvious. Don't know how the feel about the rhyme in the third stanza, but I seriously love everything else.
Tweak it a little, don't be afraid to hide the meaning just in the diction. Very, very good. Collins meets Bear Grylls.
