I Feel All Powerful

Invisible predators are sleuthing through the woods,
gaining on me, hoping I will fear them.
I do not so they disappear.

A mad sorcerer sits in a large black elm tree,
biding her time, waiting to swoop down and
catch me up in her giant net.
I laugh, and she disappears.

Thousands of wild hogs begin racing 
to my hiding spot, ready to tear me apart 
and spread my meaty pieces all over the meadow.

I take my eraser and snuff them all out,
satisfied with my power today, and my ability
to keep myself alive in spite of dire imaginary circumstances.
