An Ode To The Jaguar

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

Lurking in the rainforest. 

With fur the color of a canary

And spots the color of tar. 

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

You hunt like a man, 

For you are not picky 

And stalk carefully. 

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

You blend with the sun 

So your prey has no hope of spotting you. 

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

Your claws are sharp and curled like a knife,

While your nose is the color of a piglet,

And your tail is long like a rope. 

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

A strong beast indeed. 

For you wrestle crocodiles for your meal.

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

You are not always the color of a canary,

For sometimes both your spots and fur are the color of tar. 

In that case indeed, you blend with the night.

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

I feel a sense of pity near you. 

For your home is being destroyed by man. 

 

Jaguar, jaguar:

Too many things to say about such a creature, 

But here is the end of this poem.

I am alone,
shivering in the darkness.
My hair is in tangles, 
and my clothes are in rags.
The bone-like trees
seem like monsters,
whispering a hurtful curse.
The wind bit me,
harder than I ever could imagine
"You'll never make it out, you'll never make it out,"
it seemed to scream.
I felt a raspy breath,
breathing on my shoulder,
making me cough.
Then, a sudden wincing pain crept through my body,
forcing me to squeeze my eyes and clench my fists.
I shout for help,
with all my might,
but it's too late,
Thus I was dragged in the silent forever night. 


This is my first ever attempt at writing a scary poemboogiewowevil. Hope you like it!grin

Love is the way of life.

You can fight and fall.

But love will always be there for you.

That is why love should be in your life.
