Poem by Tasha Dove the Mountain Lion

“At two weeks old I open my eyes, To see what’s on the other side.

Alert and playful you know that’s me, My spots will fade in about a week.

I’m a kitten now, but not for long, For I only weigh 1 or 2 pounds.

I’ve been stalking my prey all this time Waiting to pounce what’s all mine.

When I’m about to leap I hear, My mother's piercing whistle in my ear.

My rabbit hops away by a tree, Which leaves me nothing to eat.”

I sat down with a blush. My black tipped ears and tale twitched in Embarrassment. Every one clapped including Tab Hunter. I have a huge crush on him, just as every other 5th grade mountain lion. Mrs. Bark interrupted my thoughts. She stood on her eight elephant toes clapping wildly.

“ Nice poem Tasha. Next is Tab.” As Tab stood to read his poem I blushed again. I put my paw on my small, tawny- colored head. I couldn’t help but think about Tab. Just then I heard Tab say,

“My dad walked out and now, I can’t find him anywhere in town.” That reminded me that all dads walk out on the family before the kittens are born.

“This is your principle, J. Berry. The bell is not working so it is the end of this period. Thank you for your time.”

Mrs. Bark lifted up her big, gray arm and waved at us for dismissal. We all ran for our lockers. Of course the mountain lions, cheetahs, and lynx were the fastest, but the mountain lions could only run to the lockers, and not back because of our small lung captivity. Our next class was Mr. Mel’s class. Mr. Mel is the meanest teacher in the school. He says its so we learn more. Do you know that Mr. Mel and Tab look the same except that Mr. Mel is older and fatter. My next class is history, and we have a test. I’m not good at history, but I studied so I’m good. Mr. Mel growled at Breezy and I. Breezy is a beautiful lynx. We were talking to each other. All we did in class was boring math, although math is my favorite subject today was boring! I can’t wait till math is over.

“ This is J.Berry, ring, ring class in over.” We all rushed to our lockers, put our books away, and got our lunch money out. Lunch here I come, I thought to myself. I sat down with Breezy and Brandy. Brandy is one ugly cheetah. We all looked at the lunch menu.

I got a deer, the number one chose of a mountain lion, Breezy got fish, and Brandy got rabbit. When lunch was over it was time for history. I got my pen, pencil, scrap paper, and went to class. Dr. Derek was my history and science teacher. We all had “it” on our desks. “It” meant a history test. I sat down without a sweat. Other animals hesitated to sit, even Breezy and I studied with her.

Animal Report Personal Narrative

After history we had gym. Miss. Stripes was our gym teacher, but I call her Jashbei. That's her nickname. She is a fearless mountain lion. She's about 7 feet long and weighs between 80 to 90 pounds, which is the longest and heaviest that a mountain lion can get to be. She is a carnivore and at the top of predators, just like me.

The rest of the day went by really, really fast. When I got home from school my pregnant mom was on the chair, my mean older brother was in his room packing his things to leave the family. Soon, in 7 months, that will be me packing my bags to leave. I'm 11 months old. my brother is 16 months old. I talked with my mom for a wile.
