Cotton tail was unaware 
Till she caught his stare

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

He pulled a rabbit from his hat
That suddenly changed into a cat
That sunk claws in his face
He was given a taste
Of a fight with a large bobcat...

a twig snap
from the cliff -
bobcat

treetops glint
in sunlight -
jackrabbit leaps

footpath
between the trees -
hoot owl

Forty five pounds of TNT, quick and lean
              Hunts at night, seldom seen in the day, can freeze like a deer
                  Without notice, screams, jumps and goes up your spine...

Looking intently at me with lime green eyes
Those ears perked, listening for any tiny sound
Under the rug trying to play innocent

Gray with black markings like a bobcat
Tiny button nose adorned by whiskers
Gracing that smiling mouth, heart capturing...

There was an old Witch with a beauty-mole 
On her nose that looked like an ugly troll.
Spook, her hungry cat,
Like a bobcat sat, 
Tail wagged, lost self-control and left a hole.

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....

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...

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...

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....

On a back porch the feline sat
watching a busy sewer rat
while overhead a flying bat
diplomat of their habitat
observing preying pussycat
had to get even tit-for-tat
squealing he warned that sewer rat
it took off like a scared bobcat!

Unsuspecting and unafraid
Bless your naivety!
Dashing from out your home in the woods
Just to sit by me.

You cannot know what I am;
The race I represent.
Has not badger told you, warned you?
Rock-ledged bobcat, down-bent!

Or are there some among us
I, one such fortunate
Spilling or not, nibblings like secrets
Innate wildness placate?...

Dragging back to the den
Leg and hip injured
Torn ears and  skin
Mother coyote slowly moves

Being attacked by the bobcat
Left her wounded body and soul
Now she has to see that her young
Are loved, nutured, trained, and fed

Seeing her in such a state
Knowing that she needed help
But how can one help a wild one
Especially one with young...

BONES


Arise, dinner served down the hill
Game hen, T-bone, short rib with dill
Supper awaits pan-sear or grill
By scent by sight, capture thy thrill
Bobcat, coyotes enjoy at will

Partake of a feast beneath night sky
Prime rib, lamb chop, bone-in ribeye
Bon Appetit yummy meat pie
Silent hunters hawk owl can’t be shy  
Fearless falcon eagles soaring high...

She took a bit of this and a bit of that
Things from the junkyard of Uncle Matt
Put them together and made a giant thing
A lynx, I think said my Cousin Zing

It was a lynx, or a puma or possibly a bobcat.
I was intrigued by this sculpture from junkyard Matt
Zing, I said, it is amazing, unique, clever and phat!
It is amazing that she created it out of this and that....

An odd bobcat
my father was
looked more like

a Siamese asleep
in his recliner 
till a nightmare 

from the war
woke him and
he sat up snarling

whiskers aflame
teeth brilliant
diamonds

glistening as
we kids sat there
quietly hoping

he would
fall asleep again
because we had met

the Siamese 
and didn’t want to 
meet the bobcat
