No Feelings At All Until

it was one of those gorgeous days
mountain aiir was pine needle fresh and clear
let’s climb this tree, I suggested.
my cousin Slim had a weird feeling about it.
he wanted to walk on.
I insisted, having no feelings at all
until I was face to face with a mountain lion forty feet up

Hansel and Gretel My Pet Lynxes

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!

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

Some jokes that had people cry’n
They were dumb and lame
Who else could we blame?
They fell on deaf ears most of them dy’n.

My Hair Stood On End

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

Wild Mountain Lion Kills and Eats Deer

WILD MOUNTAIN Lion KILLS AND EATS DEER

unfriendly hearts love
shall a female, weak deer skips
whilst watching the lake

bright place for watching
a small, menacing deer runs
beyond the lorry 

Highest bitter mount
when mountain lion eating
after kills eats deer

Life Changes Happen Fast Be Ready

Future race car driver, does not even need a track
Chip on my shoulder, sign on my back
Kick me, beat me, smack me, and delete me.
No matter to me. Lifeless? Life full? We will see…

Expected the worst. Ready to fight, flee, or burst. No idea why.
Ready to scream, too proud to cry. Enraged all of the

Answering Shriek To My Left

In the woods no right of way, no right to live, no right to play.
I travel quickly, as dusk is beginning. Woods are thick, on this day.
Wood tick and spider heaven, I walk gingerly, on wet old leaves.
Dog has deserted me, long gone, chasing things she thinks she sees.

The air is thick, the sun is
