Black Panther

jungle
warrior black
skinning out bare belly rogues
rends velvet tents of jagged night
rumblings under grey mists

Love the 'torn velvet tents of jagged night' setting a scene for your black panther, jungle warrior. Night certainly has a tangible texture when it is truly dark, and the tearing speaks of danger. J :)

Thank you, Linda! It was an interesting prompt. I enjoyed the movie. Also, I was more familiar with this title than the others. I had watched The Shape of Water a long time ago, but I couldn't remember any of it.
