The Sound of a Cat by The Pond

A poem along the lines of another I wrote, called "The Sound Of A Cat By The Garbage Cans", which you can find earlier in my profile. Please do comment.

focused feline face

stares tightly

where the stream

meets the pond

looking to kill

things moving

not quite quickly

enough to catch

shelter

deeper in the watergrass

slowly

forgetting fear

forgetting the innocent

psychopathic vulture

still hunched

over fields ripe

with dead minds

its only thought

to kill

its only warning

fishbone whiskers

drifting closer

with the fog

Thanks for reading and please comment!
