Big Cat
Big cat silhouetted in the moon filled night
Slinking like a prowling thief
Huge paws, even bigger claws
Stealthy steps on rough rocks
A pause at the river drinks
Fur stood up, ears ever alert
To kill prey or live another day

This is how Bond sees himself, lol.
I bet you’re right! 😀
I thought I commented on this already! Dang WordPress, lol. Beautiful how you expressed the ferocity of cats, (all of them, I think LOL). 🐈⬛🙂
Dang WordPress is right! lol No worries, though. So glad you stopped by, Laura. xo I’m so glad you liked the poem, and I agree with you about “all” cats. 🙂
Kymber, I enjoyed how the poem brought together several different elements that surround the nightlife of this big cat.
Thank you. 🙂 I love big cats so I’m glad I was able to convey that. 🩷🌷🌺
This is a really love poem❤️
Thank you so much. 🩷🌷
Wonderful! Thank you, Kymber!
Thank you so much, Resa! xo

This is a good one, Kymber. A thief in the night.
Thank you, Mary. I’m glad you liked that line. 😀
Superb poem in response to the prompt, Kymber! I love it! 💕
Hi, Eugi! Thank you, I’m so glad!
My pleasure, Kymber!
Oh KymberNoodle, what a lovely response to this prompt! 🙌🏼 Love this: …”Slinking like a prowling thief…” Oh My! Love it ladybug! 🥰💖🦁🙏🏼🤗
ChickiePotPie, I’m so glad you liked this. 😀 Hugs and smooches! xo
You are a true entertainer KymberNoodle and I love it! Have a FANtabulous day ladybug! 🌞🐞✨
Awwww thanks. xoxo You, too, ChickiePotPie!
🥰💖🥂💋😍
Oh, I like this, Kymber. The image is mesmerizing and your poem is beautiful and dangerous. A wonderful combo!
Thank you so much, Diana. I’m so glad you liked the picture and poem.
Perfect poem for the image, Kymber! Love it!
Thank you, Lauren. I’m so glad you think so. xo
HI Kymber, I love this poem.
Thank you, Robbie. xo
My pleasure
Such softness, Kymber, in the first lines. I could see the cat prowling, it’s shadow rather. And the night, the moon, enough for him. Not for us (but we matter not). Yet I hear not his footsteps. True to its hunter’s nature. Brilliant, like the glint in a cat’s eye. 🙂
I absolutely love your take on the poem and picture, and I thank you. 🙂
A great tribute to Cesare Kymber. I can picture him prowling about in Kitty Cat Heaven. Have a pleasant day. Allan
Thank you, Allan. I’m so glad you liked it. I hope you had a good day!
Very wonderful, and I absolutely love the dedication.
Thank you so much, Kevin! I love your pictures. They are so inspiring!
Thank you Kymber 🙏
Wonderful Kymber! Love the tribute to Cesare.
Thank you so much, Cindy.
A lovely poem perfect for the picture, Kymber. Well done.
Thank you, John. 🙂
😊
wow… wonderful, Kymber. 🤍💫
I’m so glad you like it, Destiny. 🙂
Loved it! My three kitties are purring here right now.
Awww that is so sweet. Give them little hugs from me. 🙂
Love the poem……I could “see” the picture so descriptions were perfect (or should I say PURRfect!).
Pam
LOL I love the “purrrfect!” 😀 Thank you so much, Pam.
I could see what you described. Loved it!
Thank you so much. I’m glad for that. 😀
Excellent! You are so talented!
Aww thanks! 🙂
That’s a fantastic poem, Kymber. I was watching my neighbours cat and noticed how it was kneading its paws, mimicking the behavior of wild cats in the wild. It’s amazing how domestic cats exhibit behaviors similar to their wild counterparts. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day. Aiva xx
Thank you so much, Aiva. I think that’s fascinating, too. It’s almost like domestic cats are barely domesticated because they still have so much of that wildness in them. 🙂
🥰🥰🥰
I do like big cats. I wouldn’t mind a bit of that feral focus inside of me.
Thank you, Jacqui! I wouldn’t mind that either. lol 😀
Ooh creepy ❤️ Panther on the prowl.
Oh, yes, for sure. 😀 Always on the prowl.
Lovely poem! I was wondering if in the 3rd line you meant to write “huge” paws instead of “hug” paws?
Yes, that’s right. Thank you, Maranda. I’m glad you told me.
No problem! Something like that would drive me crazy so I would definitely want to know 🙂
Absolutely! Thank you again! You are a life saver! 🙂 xo
What a captivating portrayal of the big cat’s nightly prowls! It’s as if each line tiptoes along with the predator, feeling the tension of its hunt. The imagery really paints a vivid picture of its power and grace under the moon’s glow.
Thank you so much. I like your assessment of the poem more than the poem itself. LOLOL 😀
Bagheera from the Jungle Book… fantastic!
Yes! That had run through my mind, I’ll admit it. LOL 😀
Awwsome Kymber! 🌞
Thank you, Lorrie! 🙂
