Great haiku, Robyn, and love the double meaning of the poem and lady cougar. Using the word "painted""paints a great image of your haiku. Growl!

That makes me sad, that animals must 'stalk concrete' for human amusement. They say some zoo's are to 'protect' the animals. But, there again, from humans. Makes me sad. A great haiku Miss Robyn, blessings...

Well, don't be sad. This is about adult female humans. Haha!

This is a great haiku you have penned but it was almost scary to look at those claws. I know I do not want to run into this animal any time soon! Great job! Blessings, Teri

Hi Robyn:

Well, this is about as clever as any haiku can get. The imagery you've conjured is striking. I see stilettos, painted nails, too much make up and salon perfect hair lol Great job on this one!

Ah yes, "Cougars" those lovely, older women who are forever in search of fresh, young...meat to sink their claws into, if you'll pardon the expression.
I've had run-ins with a few of 'em in my day.
Can't say as I regret it either.
Women age like wine. They just keep getting better and better with age.
Men?
We age more like milk.
Nice work, Robyn...

Oh no! But most men mellow a bit, too. Thanks, friend!

Most, perhaps, but not all...
You're welcome, Robyn.

So the women come out you say
With claws ready to play the game
Where are these women in my area
I am alone with desire striven

I would not mind a cougar
But at my age that is unlikely
They like younger men
I will even like a kitten to pet
