Below is a poem of mine based on the 'Yaguára': 'JAGUARA' Swathed in the dark cathedraled canopy High above the forest floor The ever-vigilant eyes Of Platyrrhine apes Detect a shadowy sinuous form Drifting through the dappled shade And pierce the fetid air With screams of fatal warning To earthly realms of fear To 17th century Portuguese - Yaguára Latin name Panthera Onca Of the Family Felidae Amazonian alligator killer Svelte yellow-black knife Of silent sleek power Fading through the light On padded paws Untamed vixen of the night Crouching springboard Of coiled aggression And deft dispatching power Swish-tailed balance Glinting eyeballed attention Muscle packed force Cloaked in forested ambush One sinuous flash of graceful power Executed with laser accuracy Ending vital life With implacable force Above the place of death The cacophony of fear subsides And well concealed from lightening skies The solitary Yaguára lies In inky-black repose Lady of this twilight zone With coal-black feline eyes Item Price  12x18 inch Prints Signed LtdEd of 5 $95.00  24x36 inch Prints Signed LtdEd of 2 $350.00  36x48 inch Prints Signed LtdEd of 1 $650.00
