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....

I grab my flashlight

This bad perfume packing feller, not real popular
                               A natural carrier of rabies and a bad odor for defense
                               To a old West Texas mountain lion, their meat is sweet...

she outwaits her prey
calculating eye
antelope killer
gargantuous paws

a race car’s speed
proud in her pride
enormous roar
mountain lion

Haiku Trilogy 


Fox poises mid-step

Rabbit scent tantalizes

Mouth waters wildly

 

Eyes peer intently

Haunches crouched, slung low to ground

Biding time to spring

 

Mountain lion growls

Padded feet part tall grasses

Hunter now hunted

It sounded like a woman being raped and murdered
exactly he said, smiling...

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

My feet are freezing in this forest tonight. I wish I had worn my extra socks. Through the tree there is a light. A scream pierces the air. Hair stands on end on my neck. A werewolf? A bobcat? Mountain lion? I begin to walk faster, expecting to die in boots with freezing feet.

			        scream pierces the night
	                    mountain lion or brave bobcat
                                 my hair stands on end...
