Dark Beauty Poem by Mark Walters

She walks in beauty as the night

Lonely ambers reflecting light

Prowess walks in stealthy socks

This dreadnaught prowls on slender hocks



A darkened form leaps to the fight

Claws unsheathed slash outright

Her prey, unwary of the fray

Falls silent, lifeless in the way



The huntress mouths her bloody meal

Retreats on darkness well-shod heel

Home now, she knows she must cow-tow

And begs her master with 'meow'!
