Waxing Poetic From a Wicker Chair

The following words, lept, nay, demanded to be put to paper after observing real events.  I give you, a hunt.
Observe Death
Observe Death, he is in fine form
His body strong, his tail taught
Observe Death, his balance unmatched
On such uneven ground, he defies gravity
Observe Death, his movements silent
Each footfall placed, noiselessness, easy to achieve
Observe Death, his final blow
Jaws close, a life is crushed
Observe Death, the skilled hunter
Though you are but a gecko,
Can you afford less zeal in the hunt,
Than a lion?
Yup, watched a gecko eat a cricket and he got a poem about it.  He was very patient.  After stalking his prey for the better part of five minutes he finally reached his goal.  The cricket was less happy about the outcome but he put up a brave fight.
