Jaguar

jungle green wild eyes

smoky shadow softly leaps...

cooling river swim

I can envision that jaguar leaping with joy into a cool river, Michelle, especially if the weather is as hot as it is now in Malta! Congratulations on your top win. Regards // paul

Delightful haiku, Michelle. Loved the middle line. I was tensely expecting a wild-eyed pounce on a potential meal, but J is just taking a relaxing swim! Nice.
