In the Eyes of a Cougar

In the eyes of a cougar


she purrs like an old kitten
plays with young ones mittens
is of a bigger scale of a cat
loves the bone of young fat

her movements stealth
has good range of health
eyes a moving
for any oaks a grooving

she follows the trail
to a sweet colt's tail
hunkering down 
without any sound

the scent rises to thirst
her insides near burst
she speeds on 
before it's gone

the call of the wild
isn't so mild
she plays with her prey
hearing him neigh

that's a good sound 
being unwound
to the highest pitch
filling her niche

the colt is small but big
she braces a swig
her eyes a water
at her new found trotter


echo's the cougar's fight
at the young'ins sight
back to her cave
for more rave
