Predator

Panther in the night
stalks his prey without surcease
until he pounces...

In the morning he snoozes,
purring in his kitty bed. - Jeff Barnes


This is an example of the Japanese form of poetry called tanka -- a haiku followed by two extra lines of seven syllable each.  I wrote it about our cat, Jonah.
