Atrabilious ...

Today's word is "atrabilious" ... a-truh-BIL-yuh s ... gloomy; morose; melancholy; morbid. irritable; bad-tempered; splenetic. (Dictionary.com)

Jump
From her perch, she watched,
As chaos reared its head,
In rapid canine form,
As near her he did tread.

She laid back her ears,
And gave a warning hiss,
Her atrabilious mood,
About to spoil his bliss.

He didn't see her there,
As he launched himself in air,
And u-turned while suspended,
Above her chosen chair!
