A fickle kitten slowly slips
Its raspy tongue around my rim
The joyous circle, brightly wet
Licks tender faces, feet and skin
The kitten grows and sharpens fangs
I see his teeth will test my brim
A nibble tests the sturdy edge,
Finds timber, bones, and meat within
He hisses death and claws my face
My presence here enrages him
His ripping, tearing, frothy teeth
Crush earth and stone, rip flesh and limb
A pretty face and cozy fur
Make syren purrs the bleakest hymn
A laughing meal, all light and joy
Will stroke the kitten, dark and grim

Hint
The quiet kitten licks my feet
As days of summer ebb and flow
An angry kitten's fangs and paws
Push heavy buildings to and fro

Sound like some kind of natural phenomenon. I was thinking sea or ocean, but I'm not sure..

I was thinking along the lines of some kind of grinding machine/device

I keep thinking I've got it, then reading the next line and finding it doesn't fit well!
Some verses make it seem like A storm, with the joyous circle being the sun or a cloud or something, while others make it seem more like the sea, with it's frothy teeth, and the tide breaking against things. Perhaps it is a tidal wave?.

I see a pier, jetty, or dam as the kitten is clearly water or the ocean.
[edit] I'm a bit short of time to dig into this right now. [/edit]

A ship doth sail on the sea
When a storm hits suddenly
Amidst the storm, the sailors doubt
As the ship is tossed about.
The hull can't stand against its wrath
The ship doth plunge, sinking fast
Once the sea has done its deed
The calm returns, a beautiful scene

I'd offer wind, but the hard work was done already...
I'd then offer the sun as well..

Pier is probably closest but many fine answers here. Anything shore related would work
