Short Bobcats Poems

a woman screaming
as she is being murdered
or a bobcats cry...

coyotes howl
desert comes alive at night
I shiver

rats shaking tin cans
junkyard comes alive at night
I cringe

wild zombies dance
graveyard comes alive at night
I turn tail

screaming bobcats
woods come alive at night
I run like mad...

Don't ask lovely Star Magnolia
Nor blueberries' bell blooms
Japanese Magnolia won't tell
Lest quickly seasons assume

Who browned the awesome pink blossoms
Or turned camelia squishy
Was it the brown nervous squirrel
With his dancing tail swishy

It must have been Bobcats at night
Who climbed in blooming trees  
Then painted tips with brown markers
Not the northerly breeze


Maybe unfinished???...

The young doe so alive
Brought down by one shot
Way back, several years ago

The hunters could not find her
Venison they desired to eat
Then her carcass lay at the edge
Of an open field next to the deep woods

Slowly 
Vultures, crows, bobcats, ants
Ate their fill
Now only dry bones left
Still baked by the sun 

My writing has hit a dry spell
Like those dry bones
Baked by the spring sun
All dried up, turned white by the sun ...

As dusk came quickly 
Fast as a dove
Escaping to Swift Creek
Seeking moments to splurge

There was the photographer
Sitting quietly on the hill
Taking twilight pictures
Of the water running swift

Then he saw me 
I saw him
Our eyes focused intently
Our love truly began

He had watched me
From a very distant place
He knew from the first moment 
He had to see my face

Then the cry of the bobcats
Piercing the air
Gave me a terrible scare
Why did they have to be there...
