Mountain Lion Cry

I grab my flashlight
woman being killed in woods
my husband stops me

he knows animals
irritating me greatly
mountain lion cry

if you ever hear
scream of woman being killed
its mountain lion

Mountain lions have been spotted in the park near where I live here in Col Springs - plus bears, elk, you name it! Still the wild west here. Enjoy your writes - Bob

Thank you Bob. I appreciate it. I truly was getting ready to go out there and save the woman being raped and killed. I had no idea when the scream came and my hair stood straight up on the back of my neck that it was the cry of a mountain lion.
