I Am The Huntress
    I am The Huntress
    Apex Predator
    Big Cat
    Lioness!

    With head lowered
    Belly to the ground
    Pressing down new savanna grass
    As the monsoons
    Now past
    Ignite the Serengeti
    With springs explosions
    Of life and color
    I slink slowly forward
    Pausing to check the traitor wind
    Who on a whim turns
    Carrying scent to prey
    And with sounded alarm
    The victim turns to flee
    But alas
    It is too late for this one
    When with one final great leap
    My muscles rippling
    Claws extended
    Fangs barred
    Jaw ready now
    Snapping closed
    Clamping on throat
    In mighty death grip
    To take life’s precious breath
    Twisting to land on all fours
    The mighty huntress…



    Landed on the flower pot knocking it off the balcony,
    then turned and ran back inside the house.
    “DAMN TOOTSIE! You almost landed on my cactus.
    You broke my Dracaena Marginata.
    And the lizard got away with everything but it's tail anyhow!
    Stupid cat!
    What on earth were you thinking anyway?”
