Imitating Week 2

For my imitation this week, I'm going to try to imitate the first four lines of the "Rattlesnake" poem. The first four lines of the poem are:

I found him sleepy in the heat
And dust of a gopher burrow,
Coiled in loose folds upon silence
In a pit of the noonday hillside.

I decided to talk about a cat stalking prey in the woods.

I found him spying in the frond
and shade of the forest green,
crouched in ready pounce upon
the landing of the unseen butterfly
