I've chosen to write as a poet and the abstract notion is nature.

The jungle is entangling me heavy and dense
I am struggling to advance
The air exhausts me and takes my confidence
To my prey this is a dance

the things I brought to aid me is now resistance
it wears me down each little ounce
but this is it I won't get another chance
when the time comes one of us will pounce

I feel it now we're almost there
sure footed now the wind to my favor
up the velocity the jungle starts to clear
focus now save the thought of flavor

what is this where has he gone
how did he cheat
that's him behind me I'm not alone
He completes the hunt this is my defeat

  1. I think your notion here is more specific, namely 'the hunt'...

  2. I like this poem and am impressed that you made it rhyme.
    I actually felt that this was a dream sequence - the subconscious' metaphoric way of illustrating that the dreamer has gotten stuck in life and hunts for better opportunities, but fails.
