Under the covers, peeping from below
She tries to find it, but she can’t seem so
Popping her head below the sheets
A world of darkness, of terrifying fear

She hides cautiously in the corner of the room
Waiting to pounce on her lovely prey, so delicious.
She licks her paws in preparation for her meal
Removing the remains of what is left in her nails

It peeps out into the open – looking left, looking right
It scurries across the room to the hole in the wall
A black panther springs out from the walls 
Digging her extended claws into the rodent

She licks her whiskers in content. 
Dreaming of the next catch tomorrow.
