Terror Stalks The Jungle Poem by Terence George Craddock

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 stalked hunted 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
