HUNTER

One day in the tropics
orange, black-striped predator

leaned down on paws ready to attack.

UNKNOWN

I hear birds and suddenly shuffling in bushes
I'm curious to see there but
quickly it leaps away
unknown.

GREEN

All surroundings are green bushes, trees
and grass just something orange and black-striped
'cause I'm in the jungle full of beasts.
