Kindness can have a false face. Michelle Liew
**********************************************************
Black cat
Black fur so sleek
Moving with gentle grace
Stopping to greet a hungry mouse
So kind
But with a swift and silent paw--ouch!
The hungry mouse now lies,
Its form within
The mouth.

The Solitude of The Chupacabra
Many say that the Chupacabra is a rather recent and modern tale, a mangy coyote or rabied dog. Some point out that it’s just twisted evolution. But very few know the true backstory of the shapeshifter that led to the bloodsucking legend. And perhaps once you will come to know and understand more, you might “forget” a few cattle out to wander.

This poem is a deceptively simple and surprisingly impactful portrayal of nature's duality. "Moving with gentle grace/ Stopping to greet a hungry mouse/ So kind" The build of gentle imagery is brilliant. The sudden shift in tone, ending with "Its form within / The mouth," is perfectly executed, leaving a lasting impression. 🌞🩶🤎
Very description but yet a deep truth and less within it. Lovely poem ♥︎♥︎♥︎
"Moving with gentle grace" This is really true, when sinister plans hide behind graceful steps sometimes. Love your poem!
Ugh! I love cats but do not like them roaming, maiming and murdering; safe inside for them and birds. Great work Michelle!
