Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Free verse

Whispers of Jaguars

The cliffs up high
tell adobe tales
laced with maize
on hawk feather breezes.
Whispers of Jaguars
travel the mesquite,
are impaled on cacti needles.

The sight of the cat
knows the darkness,
protects the Gods.
It's said even the spots
on its fur are eyes;
they follow the warrior.
Spears cannot pierce its skin;
we sleep in peace.

Darren White June 9, 2017 at 9:13 AM simply beautiful, exactly what a Free Verse should be like."Even the spots on its fur are eyes", that imagery, it is a gem of a poem. Dale Gregory Cozart June 9, 2017 at 9:35 AM Thank you, Darren.
