Mesopredator

[brynmawr1]

Mesopredator

high
on a haughty perch
watching
knowing the Art
of War
 
enigmatic
tail twitching 
hiding
what lies
behind
darting eyes
 
labelled aloof
demanding
attention spurning
affection
a turn and a bite,
 
but conviction
the heart lacks
teeth
failing
to find purchase
 
betraying
we play 
predator
feeling like prey

I reposted this out of the pet poem thread because I am interested to get feed back on the line breaks and whether they are effective.  As I was posting the original and reviewing I kept pushing the line breaks and finding new meanings but wonder if I am too much in my own head.  I did walk back some of the breaks in S3.  Thanks.
