Short Pouncing Poems

The cat watches me
sleeping alone, and he thinks
 “Ignore it” pouncing....

RAPTOR

sparrow hawk alights-
the chattering
stops


just one flap of wings-
the raptor makes its kill
pouncing down at will...

the charcoal-colored cat
creeps upon it's prey
pouncing at the last possible minute
before the garter snake
slithers in tall grass...

The stray
kittens
Meeting
At the 
Red barn
Rolling on
Balls of
Green and
Purple yarn
Pouncing on
The tapioca
Scent of
A catnip

tabby cat slinking
around the house, looking stealth
pouncing and prancing

lover, neat and sweet
purring for a stroke around
his silky neck...

Rain.
Cold, dark.
Freezing, drowning, dieing.
Clouds weeping sinister sorrow.
Pouncing, dancing, dripping.
Beautiful, painful.
Water.

OF LOVE
 
Love has no bounds 
pouncing on us reckless
Like a playful cat 
on haunches hunting yarn balls 
and shadows bats and sparrows
Making sudden illogical leaps

Like a spear
Perambulating through flesh
Leaving a tear
Incessantly so fresh
Is fear

Like a macrophage
Nursing your gash
Pouncing bacteria in a phage
Rigorously in a flash
Is hope...

Playful as a puppy
pouncing, as a child I'd 
pound upon black and white
planks, listening to the
pitch, noticing that my
Pa's voice sounded like the
placement of my left hand.

Endless struggle
Creeping like fog
Yet pouncing like fire
Blazing life with
Persistent flames
Charring the memories
And replacing them with
Black smoke and thick air
I breathe in heavy
To absorb your last words...

The predator's cubs
playing and screeching, 
rubbing their faces on the mother's
and she licking them.
Playing hide and seek, 
pouncing on the mother's tail
grabbing it.
Hilarious! 
they seem telling
to let them live....

packing for adventure
pouncing on a puppy
planning to prank people
photographing flash floods
painting under bridges
pretending work's a game
performing impromptu

Aggressive, brave, confident
distinguished emperor
fighting groveling hyenas
intimidating jackals
killing large mammals
nimble, overpowering
pouncing quickly,Roaring
stalking the usually vulnerable wildebeast
'xasperating young zebras...

I live in my own world 
Nothing to be concerned
An imagery of my own
Constructed all alone
I seek peace and pleasure
When I dream with leisure

But reality creeps in
And takes the win
Like a lion pouncing at its prey
Unannounced as it lays...

Sometimes, silence is the best defense 
Like an armor against a pouncing sword 
It is always wise to build your heart a fence 
That can't be pierced by sharpest word

A predator's rapier claws,
maintains her in good health.
And mingling with the shadows,
she stalks her prey with stealth.

Pouncing at nearly lightning speed,
she's a featureless blur.
And yet...when cuddled in my lap
Death wears...the softest fur.

Clean down to the bottom bill 
Smashing gobsmacked cashless
Simply crass wealthy wanting more
The silent till awaits the masses

Pouncing plastic rapist rapture
Stripped!! The global bankers dream!
Control the dough by feckless reign
A reckless chain to pitchforks once again...

the red kite whistles
to it's mate soaring above..
from their nest of love

chatter in the sky
northwards,in neat formation
migrating geese fly

a magpie arrives..
the starling's melody dies-
soundlessly death cries

just one flap of wings-
the sparrow-hawk makes its kill
pouncing down at will...

Grey slender  almost blue as embers
Pouncing in the greener yard~
Faithful   He was oh so graceful
Past a concrete curb to wander
	Into streaming metal garb ~ 
Where did he go,
Still no one knows
	But she believes she’s found him ~
A carbon-copy of a cat,
If you could just imagine that;
So sure that he is 
Smokey....

As I run through the bristles of the trees
The pain gets worse as I collapse on my knees
Growing fur and fangs
I hear rattling chains
The hunt has begun
I'm still not sure if I have won
Something is near I have to get down
Pouncing silent I tackle him to ground
I speak to him the last words he will know
I am Waya Sado, the Wolf Shadow......

Softly the pitter patter 
Peaceful melody of purrs,
filling your soul with laughter  
furry four legged treasures;

meowing their words of love
blinking 'Hello'  with their eyes,
punching  your heart like a glove 
staring at you from up high;

pouncing softly to your lap
a joy to watch each caper,
right before taking a nap
sweet kisses of sandpaper....

Little Miss Mischief stalking feathered loot
Misty movement through grass, a gray mirage
The warbling victim tooting its last toot
Her pouncing play, I must sabotage
Before she bestows another birdie in my boot!
