Cat's Eye Ninjutsu
By lupus tenebrae
Cat’s eye in the grass,
eyeballing at lady
luck,
green as green can turn
Not with envy, no,
but
with a fine acrylic
in mind at all times.
Narrow elusion
of every artisan grasp,
and a poet’s rage.
One should
simply bow,
admit to this ninjutsu,
and call it a Spring.

Author's Note:
As a poet, the greatest slap in the face, is for one of our own metaphors to become literal.Comments on "Cat's Eye Ninjutsu"
