The rolling, hollow, baying sounds cascading from the fen,
'cause there's a bobcat up a tree and the dogs are loose again.
The cat suddenly settles, and the hunting pack goes quiet.
A man whistles to call them, but these rowdy dogs won't buy it.
Like men in a private club, they quietly wait by the tree.
The cat observes his options, wondering how he will get free.
A twig snaps, there's movement. and the dogs return to full bay.
The cat jumps down into the marsh, and finally gets away.

Eli snuggled up to his sweet winter snow pet
Squishing Mr. Bobcat as close as he could get
This day is damp said Bob, my fur is all wet
Mama won’t let you in the house though, that is my bet.
We can stay here and snuggle, so don’t you fret.
You are my favorite person, my best friend, my pet.

You really haven’t lived life fully
Until you’ve raced down a mountain
In the rain
On a muddy, slippery trail
In a Bobcat side-by-side utility vehicle
With a twenty foot long section of twelve inch culvert
Teetering precariously on the vehicle
Trying to hold it under one arm
While attempting to steer with the other
So as to keep the Man
With the quarter million dollar excavator
From sitting around
Waiting on you
At an hourly rate
Higher than you ever dreamed of making.

Other people’s nightmares and night terrors do not interest me
Or persuade, coax or encourage me to have my own.
I refuse to acknowledge their existence.
Others tell me cryptic tales, sharing morbid woes.
I slumber as peacefully as a newborn colt
Dreaming of the good life
A bobcat’s scream changes me forever

Hair on my neck stood on end
A woman being murdered?
It’s a bobcat’s scream

Large
Bobcat
peaked above
the tall snowbank
Then, it slowly walked
sat in the street
looked around,
as it
left

What if a two-hundred-pound bobcat would
jump into my red Lincoln this morning?
I was thinking about this as I left my driveway.
What if she got stuck in the passenger window
because my window was up almost to the top?
Would I unroll the window, hoping she would roll out onto the pavement, probably killing her?
Or would I keep driving, hoping she might wrestle her head
out herself and survive?
I pondered this for ten minutes before I reached the I-70 freeway.
Seeing myself being mauled and eaten to death
by an angry bobcat mama
After I tried to do the right thing and released her.
I am fully angry with her now, determined not to save her.

Heart stopping scream.
Permeates the woods.
A woman being murdered.
I grab my flashlight.
I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
I glare at my friend.
A woman is being killed.
I am going to save her.
That was a bobcat, she says.
I come right back to the deck.
There are no more screams
But yips of coyotes.

You can be a turtle, a deer, a buffalo, a dog, frog or a sphynx,
But you never know true love until you have fallen for a lynx.
I have a pair of them, and they adore me upside down and inside out.
They give me joy and companionship; they truly make me shout!
You may refer to them as bobcats, if you grew up seeing them this way.
No difference to Hansel and Gretel, they still hunt down their prey.
Their silent padded paws help them hunt with the best of the beast.
When they drag in their carnage, we have a wonderful meat feast!
They were found by me as babies after hunters got their mother.
They are happy with me, and even more happy with each other.
A brother and a sister, they like to prowl and hunt at night.
I sigh a relief when they come home, knowing they’re all right.
They can run fifty miles an hour, faster than most cars on our road.
I like watching them skedaddle, when they are in chase mode.
They like to curl at my feet and listen to stories, and sigh.
And no burglar has ever bothered me. Don’t you wonder why?

it came from my left
my hair stood on end
a woman being murdered?
raped and murdered?
my heart was beating faster now
the woods have never looked this dark
I am horrified
mountain lion my friend tells me later
no I argue
It sounded like a woman being raped and murdered
exactly he said, smiling

a twig snap
from the cliff -
bobcat
treetops glint
in sunlight -
jackrabbit leaps
footpath
between the trees -

I ceased to be me when I heard the young one’s screams.
They were coming from the woods, between my two streams.
Her shrieking was terrifyingly real, not like on fantasy TV.
It felt like a young woman was being murdered
which was good enough for me.
I ran for our big floodlight, without thinking about myself at all.
Into the woods we ran, my three dogs, me and my bravest cousin, Paul.
Her shrieks sounded closer now. They were the loudest to our right.
Suddenly something grabbed me by my arm. It was the biggest fright!
A voice whispered close to my ear, “Shh!” as a man held me into place.
Greatly relieved to hear Paul, as I could not in the dark see his face.
“Don’t you know what that is?” he whispered. “What?” I barely whispered back.
“That’s a bobcat’s cry,” he told me. “If it is threatened, it might attack.”
We immediately headed back to the house. The dogs followed
a few hours later.
The last time I was this scared, we were in Florida,
where I had seen a wild, loose alligator.
