Winner winning gold price and jaguar pendant:
Neuroi
All is quiet.
All is restless.
The hunted remains ignorant of its peril.
A stalker ponders her quarry.
She pauses.
But she does not hesitate.
Rippling muscles snake under a spotted pelt.
The huntress shifts on her haunches.
Her prey turns its back.
Something primal snaps inside her.
She springs into action.
Long ears perk up in panic and surprise.
The victim begins to flee, only to find he cannot.
Her claws rend and her jaws clamp.
She kills.
But she does not murder.
Her hunger is satiated.
But the instinct is not.
For the hunt is eternal.
All is quiet.
All is restless.

Also some Jaguar Haikus by Tow:
Jaguar Spirit
Black spotted fur stalks glowing
eyes hunt in the night
Sentinel Bashing
Morph jaguar ambush prey
with sharp claws and teeth
Year of Jaguar
Sentinel House fun games
played prizes won
Prowling Jaguar
Soft paws in forest swiftly
move without a sound
Shala-Khulia curse
Broken Jaguar staff make
two halves whole again
Roaring in the trees
Feline grace mighty is the
cat of the jungle
Jaguar reflex
Hunt with speed balance returns
to strike prey again
Jaguar defence
Vitality when things go
wrong this power saves
