This is a poem I wrote over 4 years ago, and am curious if you can guess the title. It is also presented at poetry.com by the way as it got some honorable mention in a contest I entered it in. Lets see how long it takes for someone to come up with the answer

.

A creature prowls both night and day.
constantly watchful, looking for prey.
It never rests, hunts on and on.
Changing things until they are gone.
Everything eventually gets caught by this beast.
There is no escape, or hope of release.
All we can do, and oh we try.
Is hide things from its watchful eye.
But all this comes to little avail.
The beast will win,
and we will fail.

Too much curry, I think it's wind. But then I'm a meteorologist, so I would.

Nah its not wind. A little less obvious. Hint, it doesnt have to be a physical object.

Not a rehash of Time, as in the Hobbit?

Death?

I'm pretty sure it's what Abyss said... Time

Heres a new one for you guys. This one is actually a work in progress so feel free to critique it as well

.

Darkness surrounds me, and yet I wait.
Motionless and silent, awaiting my fate.
All around me things come and go.
What they are up to I wouldn't know.
The business of others is not my concern.
Nor is there a drive to adapt or to learn.
All I can do is lie in wait.
Motionless and silent awaiting my fate.
Till the time I wait for comes into sight.
Where I am guided helplessly toward the light.
A fire inside me burns with rage.
Stirring a hunger I cannot gage.
As I rip and shred my hunger consumes.
Engulfing all around me in a torrent of fumes.
But alas the time will eventually come.
When my hunger wanes and my duty is done.
Into the darkness I enter and wait.
Motionless and silent, awaiting my fate.

Again guess the title

Uh is it your mouth or stomach.

Tyepo · Post by **Tyepo** » Fri, 8. Oct 04, 17:58

I said most people had one....didnt mean to infer it was a body part

. It is a physical object that most people own.
