 of yonder trees,
  something watches.

High Tree Hawk [Tanka]

Posted on February 24, 2022 by B Gourley
2
the high tree hawk
scans for prey from lofty heights;
the rat scurries -
unaware of far-flung foes,
but side to wall all the same

Jaguar [Tanka]

even at rest,
the jaguar looks fast -
as long as
its eyes are focused
& its feet pad the ground

Caged Cat [Tanka]

Posted on January 11, 2022 by B Gourley
Reply
the caged cat
stalks a prey it cannot see,
and cannot reach;
does the pseudo-prey know?
does its heartbeat quicken?
