"Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to."

With that little blurb of motivation from Carl van Doren, perhaps I'll be able to happily blog my way through English 115.

Vultures

Vultures.

Circling;
wide irregular circles.
Tracing a peculiar pattern as they search for prey.

Darting;
back and forth.
Zooming in parallel patterns while they scan the scene.

Seeking;
on all sides.
Scanning eagerly all around for the solitary traveler.

Stalking;
quiet and mysterious.
Following the victim unaware to his destination.

Fighting;
intense and fearless.
Combating new voracious vultures for the prize.

Plunging;
abrupt and careless.
Swooping in to secure the kill.

Circling.
Darting.
Seeking.
Stalking.
Fighting.
Plunging.

Vultures.
Students
fighting for parking in a full Y-lot.
Vultures.
