The Hunter
A-gile she walks,
taking stock of
every step her
B-rashness emitted
in
her long stride
C-at is a coy and
confident girl and
the
D-oves have a reason
to fear her
E-very bird from
Blue
Jays to Sparrows
avoid their
F-eline foe when she
is in the yards
G-rasses are tall
this season and she
waits
H-idden in the
esters, purple
fountains or
I-nside the shadows
of the tall Lavender
and
J-asmine
K-nowing they can’t
see her she
L-ies in wait
M-y kitty will leave
Nothing to chance,
she doesn’t move
while they’re in the
O-pen air she
stares
and studies her
P-rey for hours
Q-uietly she stalks
them, she’s deep in
the grass like a
R-econ mission in
war,
S-he seizes the
moment
T-actfully, silently
gets on her haunches
and
U-nleashes her body
like a rocket
V-ictory! Victory!
She
Won a sparrow for
her prize.
X-Mas! she
Y-elps, it’s like
X-Mas!, and she
lays her kill to the
ground and
celebrates with
great
Z-est.
