Ode To A Jaguar Poem by Nate Flying Owl

Far beneath the canopy
Bathed in moonlight, a jaguar
Strides with grace through the night

What strength within her muscles
What care put into each step
Spotted coat her camouflage
Gleaming tooth and hidden claw
Combined with such stealth and might
She is lithe fatality

Lethal purpose is guided
The design of her body
Into a fierce elegance

With a beauty born of bloodlust
The jaguar, in all her vim,
Moves among midnight shadows
A pantherine eidolon
Prowling the rainforest floor
Senses always kept acute
