The Panther

                               The black cat stalked and shadowed
				But the sunrise foiled his game
				Striking skin against the snow
				There were no birds he’d kill or maim

				But the black cat sat still, sitting silent
				As the Sun slipped slowly, far away
				A bright-eyed bird, bathing alone
				The Panther prowled—and pounced his prey!
