amber eyes
When you are sitting in a tree
Way up high in the Amazon rain forest
And you turn and see amber eyes strolling toward you
Do not always assume they are the eyes of a jaguar
But if they are, jumping down will not help
They can jump down and catch you faster than you can scream

Song of The Jaguar No 2: ABBA
Inspiring, crescendo ... the ascension,
of myth and legend as Yaguara,
or "Death in one leap" the sleek frame, Jaguar
as if it's from another dimension.
Leopards bit spotty, but Jaguars take
a rosette form, tell-tale signs like water
that natures them. As a jungle squatter,
prey, and time of hunt, don't discriminate
their mettle. Domains--mine alone; moms play
dads too, tongues play teeth

What Is That In the Trees
Out of the trees slithered a dark shadow.
As it got closer, it transformed into a big cat.
A jaguar with glowing eyes and enormous teeth.
We knew it was too late to run.
Alive to tell the tale?
Not exactly.

Reality
“Reality”
I am a Jaguar.
Brownish-yellow fur, patches of black markings
resembling of a rose.
I search for food
Stalking my prey behind trees, 5
But there are none.
I walked a million miles,
All for nothing.
Struggling to hunt
Bearing the brunt. 10
I am a sloth,
A sleepy sloth that is.
We are as cool as cucumbers
And as mellow as

Sorry Said the Jaguar
I was trying to sell my 1990 Buick Reatta
To a friend of mine, Jones, who had only one daught’a.
It was for her to drive to school,
And we were meeting in Albuquerque which was our rule.
It was halfway for both of us.
Can you believe he came with a friend? That little cuss.
Not an ordinary

Why I Do Not Drive a Jaguar
A wealthy fool once came to me
Change it now, change it all
Change all these pipes
Sir that would be fifteen thousand
In lieu of his ego, mine came running too
Only give me a minute
Let me weigh up this dilemma
And lo! A small adjustment needs
Get the wrench and got it right
A lowly plumber with vast experience

Jaguar
Jet black is the night as
Jungle feline of stealth
Jumps on its hapless prey
Jaws able to crush bones
Juicy reptile swimming
Jaguar jumps in water
Jostling with a caiman

Kitty-Cornered Jaguar
She came tearing through the parking lot
Finally she brought the car to a stop
From fore to aft I count three lines crossed
What worries me more is how near are the people
Finally she brought the car to a stop
The "other two" tires again touched the ground
What worries me more is how near are the people
She doesn't

Jaguar at dawn
the jerks of bullying
facing the weave

Jaguar
Jagged, hunting
knife in hand…I chop
up chunks of meat
for my pet jaguar…he
fires me up with
painful passion – he
hands me one of his
9 lives with his
handy, giant paw . .
. I'm shocked - I
didn't expect this
at all . . . he
caught me before I
was gonna make an
embarrassing fall -
thank you, fuzzy
friend for helping
me stand tall and
all!
Ahh!
