Jaguar

· Leave a comment ·

The jaguar is one of my favorites of the big cats.

Jaguar:

I am stealthy and sleek,

I am dangerous,

My claws are sharp–I deal you a deadly blow,

My eyes glow with a dangerous light,

They seek you out–I find you,

I come to you in the night,

Softly–cautiously–and dangerously,

I come to you across the forest floor.

Mountain Lion

This was from several years ago. I had an inspiration for another animal poem. I love animals, and the mountain lion is one of my animal totems.

Mountain Lion:

Eyes sharp as an eagle and black as night,

Coat sleek and tawny-colored,

Claws sharp as a dagger,

And fangs deadly sharp,

I prowl the mountains,

Keep to the shadows,

I keep to the night—it is my home,

I live for the beauty of the darkness.
