The Cheetah slowly advanced on it’s prey.
First it had found to be substantial today.
It reached a point and into action it sprang.
A blur of spots, of claw and fang.
The small dear realized it was prey this morning.
Jumped a distance and quickly fled without warning.
The cheetah reached full speed to match.
It swerved one way it was working hard to catch.
Swerved another it following like a lock in a latch.
It reached it’s prey in one last bound and tripped it up off the ground.
Then a final bite to the neck it found.

Excellent Peter. This really describes a kill so well. It’s a tough world if you’re a deer, but it’s pretty tough if you’re a hungry cheetah too!

Many thanks Neville for pointing out the poem, I can see in it's construction where I need to go.
