Sammy
Sickly kitten
distemper the cause
near death the runt of the litter
no one wanted
pitted teeth
now razor sharp
a feline with a taste
in her mouth
so up the hill
deadly was her stalking
she now devoted to her calling
her nighttime hunt
yielding game
a portion left warm
my porch mat a plate
a morning squirrel
just for me
she willing to share
proud and generous.
