C for ABC Wednesday

ABC WEDNESDAY ROUND 7: C is for Celebration

This area, as well as others, have a fair share of cougars. Generally, these big cats avoid human involvement but so many people have moved into cougar habitats that sightings are becoming more common.

As a child, I heard cougars (they sound like a crying child) but didn't see one until a couple of years ago on a Forest Service Road. What a beautiful sight! I didn't even think of using my camera (the photo is courtesy of Wikipedia) as I watched him stroll away like a kingly lion but it's a scene I'll never forget.

Recently, friends mentioned seeing one at their summer home and I was almost jealous, even though these animals are far from cuddly.

Have you ever seen a cougar in the wild?

Pandora for Magpie Tales

Magpie Tales offers a wonderful image prompt on Thursdays and asks for a response by Tuesday early morning. Please click the Magpie Tales link to see the image that prompted this poem.


Pandora


she whistles home
old secrets left untold

skeletons of the ancient,
mum as an empty urn

the absent key of luck
artifact, cold and hard

a rusty lock is all that's left
of the open clay pithos

plagues and curses reign
she calls home a wick of hope
