Phantom cat

By Charlotte Rutz
Champlain Valley Union High School, Grade 9

The cat jumps from ledge to ledge without hesitation
Paws gliding softly over the snow
As she runs along the mountain ridges.
The snow is her friend
Keeping her hidden from danger
And allowing her to hide when she is hunting.
Lying perfectly still
She is unobserved by all who pass by her
But is ready to pounce at any moment.
Shrouded in a dappled gray coat
She is the beautiful, elusive, magical
Snow leopard.

Hi wordgirl, I really enjoyed

Hi wordgirl,

I really enjoyed reading your poem. I thought the way you described the Snow Leopard kept me thinking and creating an image about what animal this may be. I would love to read about more animals like this. Great Job.
