terror was in the jungle
terror walked the jungle
upon silent padded paws terror
stealth shadow moving unseen terror
myth legend whispers moves from village
to village by kills word of mouth feared
in nightmare battles past claws terror tiger
caught villagers hunted stalked killed
moving unseen killing unseen victims
dying in unknowing stalked seconds
dissipating hunted footfalls falling
paws noiseless leaping
ending in crunch seconds
life departing in meal seconds
a meal for predator tiger
sorrow tragedy for villagers
afraid of jungle shadows
stretching back through centuries
to primeval fears feasting predators
taking in the night family members
killing silently in dark nights
of humanity hunted by shadows
fears in the predation nights
Terence G. Craddock (afterglows echoes of starlight)
