Hound and Huntsman
...inspired by Lewis Carroll snippets (in bold) - see "The Acropolis" for this challenge.

Man naturally loves
the lure of the hunt.


The day was wet, full
of tricks and fun
. Hounds
and Huntsmen equal,
all eager for the treat.

The Field Master leads
black coated derbies
countryside surveying
coverts for the catch.

With eager eyes exploring,
Huntsman and Hound
hasten a wanting wait.

Scent is signaled, stirring
stamina in the sluggish,
with a sort of mental motion.

How cheerfully he seems
to ride high on horseback,
in search of fastidious foxes!

A scampering among
brambles breaks silence,
concluding the hunt,
conquering the capture.

No creature heeds the
warning when hunted.
There is no place to hide.

Contently, he chortled
in his joy
.
