The Cheetah

The Cheetah is fast
Fastest animal on earth
Facing extinction
cheetah speed
it could knock you off your feet
cheetah speed
omg that's so sweet
cheetah speed
A cheetah’s like a leopard, though
One may think, not a lot …
But Cheetah cheats! He won’t stand still
And let you count his spots …

courageous
careful creepers
cats
Coy

catchy claws

A cheetah’s caught cheating – bad lad
Is punished by Mum, THEN by Dad
He’d cribbed his homework
His dad went berserk
This cheater got caught, I’m so glad!
I like cheetah so much
he is so fast
and how beautiful tail
he has in the last
Climbs quickly on a tree
his eyes bright in the night
when you see his eyes
those seem like a light.
There was a little cheeta whose name was Cindy,
who loved to sing,
However, she was tone deaf, her singing made
all the animals in the kingdom ears ring.
They would call her names and say" shut up
you're no good.
The lioness Queen of the jungle, told her
that she had a gift inside of her but she
must practice whenever she could.
She took the lioness' advice and practiced
all the time,
Then one day she opened up her mouth
and her voice was beautiful and sublime.
All of the ones that insulted and called her
names are now her biggest fans.
Moral- Stay true to your dream even when
other's doubt.

First Place
I FEAST MY EYES UPON A HEARD.
I LAY AND WAIT WITHOUT A WORD.
SLOWLY, SLOWLY, I MADE MY WAY.
THE WILDEBEEST WILL BE MY PREY.
I SELECTED A FEW, AND THEN DOWN TO ONE.
LEAPED INTO ACTION AND STARTED TO RUN.
I SHORTENED MY DISTANCE WITH EVERY STRIDE.
IT TRIED TO ESCAPE BY GOING WIDE.
I ADJUSTED MY SPEED AND CHANGED MY DIRECTION.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, IT WAS A MOVE OF PERFECTION.
I COULD SENSE THE FEAR AS IT STARTED TO WEAK.
JUST A MATTER OF MINUTES BEFORE I CAN EAT.
FEELING FOCUSED READY TO POUNCE,
DOVE THROUGH THE AIR, FELT MYSELF BOUNCE.
LUCKY FOR ME MY TEETH WERE ATTACHED
TO THE WILDEBEEST NECK. MY DINNER AT LAST.
IT PUT UP A FIGHT,MAYBE MORE LIKE A STRUGGLE.
INCREASING MY APPETITE NEARLY BY DOUBLE.
ONE FINAL THING I'D LIKE TO SAY.
YOUNG WILDEBEEST MAKE A VERY FINE PREY.
a long-legged cat
with round black spots swiftly moves,
chasing the zebra.
Being chased by a cheetah wakes you up fast.
You wonder what you did wrong in your past.
I saw it leap from a tree, and ran off so fast.
But it got me of course, dream was awful, I was aghast!
Namibia is a beautiful extravagant nation
Home to the largest cheetah Population
Thanks to the cheetah conservation
A non profitable organization
Funded by a public donation
Our sole purpose is education
Research and wildlife protection
The aim is to uplift a generation
And lead them in a direction
Where they start looking at wildlife with a
different perception
This will take innovation
Hard work and dedication
To keep our objectives in motion
And slowly but surely achieve our mission
With pride , teamwork and passion
Being part of the cheetah conservation
You become a key solution
A daily motivation
And a life time inspiration
My personal suggestion
Is less talk more action
Improving communication
Spreading wildlife information
And finding the best accomodation
For cheetahs in any location
For those that contribute to our Vision
With sincere respect and appreciation
Thank you for your contribution
If you see a spotted cheetah
don't touch it or you'll get
quite dotted;
if you see a mottled hyena;
don't make it laugh
or you'll get spotted
Cheetah - A Haiku
beamy afforest
a tame, creepy cheetah calls
after the spanner

A tissue like a white hibiscus like the one in the garden of Demetrios
It fell on my shoulder, as if from the scarlet mist of my unconscious
Emitting a maddeningly possessive aroma
Forced me to look at the spotted cheetah
Seated under a very old yellow forest birch in an appetite ageless
As I craned my neck a little up my eyes came across the pink furnace
His flowing hair resembled an amber cascade in a hill in Darjeeling
His face held the finely drawn painting of Michelangelo, revealing
Hypnotic heat of passion for my deep river
At the bend looked up the restless shiver
The crimson coloured crests rushing toward the inevitable healing
In reckless submission to the cuddling curving crashing and crushing
What happened then is not difficult for you to visualize dear readers
An elegant embroidery of diamond desire from the rainbow breakers
Looked down in delight the birds from the clouds
How in sweet heat dissolved the cultural shroud
In the fountain of eternal flesh and blood the lilacs of Atlantic laughter
Thousands of butterflies under sunlight set sail in flamboyant lustre

i once knew a cheetah so slow
who had no get up and go
this might sound crazy
but I don't think he was lazy
he just had no place to go
