In For the Kill

This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

She holds her head high

Looking up towards the sky

She feels it deep in her bones

In the twilight hours she roams

Stalking her unsuspecting prey

A hunter who always has her way

Stealthily, a mystery gleams in her eyes

Image by Kevin from The Beginning at Last

She sets her sights upon her tasty prize

As blood roars through her feline veins

Ready to pounce, she’ll bring unsuspecting pain

Circles of life’s survival, in wild terrain so deep

Untamed and free, fierce prowess she keeps

Her entrancing gaze settles, giving you a chill

Always her greatest of thrills, as she moves in for the kill

      • Others have also said that they had problems subscribing to my new blog and in fact I could not subscribe to it myself, which meant I could not see my own email notifications. It was indeed a subscription problem. People couldn’t subscribe at all. However, the happiness engineers fixed that last week. There is a black subscription button on the right if you use a computer and on the bottom on a mobile. But I am displaying 10 posts at a time so it requires some scrolling to see the bottom. I could of course subscribe you but then I need your email. You can’t subscribe between blogs. It’s a person who subscribes to a blog via email or a WP account.

        I am thinking about how to make this easier. Maybe a separate page with a subscribe button would work?

    • That’s a high compliment from you, thank you πŸ™πŸ₯°

      And stop saying you hate the 99 word people when you yourself could always be a 99 word person πŸ˜†

      Doesn’t have to be rigid 😜

      • Well, 99 words is a set number, so to me, that is rigid.
        I’m a jarhead – 6 words is my limit! πŸ˜œπŸ˜„

        But yes, harassment aside, it is very impressive that you told that story so well. I tip my hat to thee πŸŽ©πŸ˜‰

      • Harassment aside 🀣 πŸ˜† I dunno why but that made me lol so hard, maybe because it’s 3AM and I’m buried in paperwork.

        Kill me now πŸ˜†
