"the mighty hunter"

This is a poem I submitted to the Pet Poetry Contest at The Pet Vine today. Wish me luck! If I don't win, that's okay too because I had fun writing it.

For Lo, I Am The Mighty Hunter

Amidst the tall walking trees

with no bark

The monsters roam

I must hook my claws

deep into them

to stop the threat of the world

with my paws

and perhaps relish the taste of

blood,

for lo,

I am the Mighty Hunter

I am the Mighty Hunter

and master of all the land.

Tough, I am, and a killer

at heart but gracious

and merciful

to my subjects.

I save the world from all

evil.

For this I am well known.

For this I am well known,

I crouch,

I stalk,

I wiggle my butt

I freeze and tremble

then sit and lick myself,

back leg, high in the air to show all

I am not afraid, then

freeze...

tremble...

lick...

flick my ear,

wiggle,

a little twitch

of a whisker

then...

I spring!

I pounce!

And the world renounces all evil!

And the world renounces all evil

as the monster screams "No"

and then,

transformation.

I have transformed the monster

and made it my slave,

it goes

and puts water in my bowl

and scratches my head.

and I am

satisfied with myself

for lo,

I am the Mighty Hunter!
