She swims with ease,
Against the nature of her feline family.
Her spotted coat works as well
In sun-dappled waters
As it does in jungle undergrowth.
Her prey outweighs her,
Outsizes her,
But is no match for
Her fierce claws
And steel-trap bite.
Her teeth crush the caymen’s skull,
And the battle is done.
She will eat for days on this kill.
Today's prompt: write a poem about an animal. This was inspired by watching "Hostile Planet" on the National Geographical channel last night.
