KING OF THE JUNGLE
High on the plains he rode,
Head high like the mighty king he
was,
Wind mourning in the trees,
creatures big and small bowed,
Mane flowing gracefully, gleaming
like new wax,
Feet firmly on the ground he
surveyed his domain,
Eyes, blazing torches, sweeping
to proclaim,
The morning sun soft, he stretched
and yawned,
A mere yawn to his kind but
frightening to all,
Paws, muscles, soft fur all
perfection he truly owned,
A squirrel up on the trees, not
daring to breathe, afraid to fall,
It would mean terror, it would
bring death,
Too precious a life, oh, so
needing that breath,
Baby gazelle passes by
gracefully,
Oblivious of the obvious danger
looking,
But high with that beautiful
stain, mother watches fearfully,
He just looks on, not his job anyway,
almost whistling,
Mother and cubs, dragging her
carcass, which almost preserved,
He finally straightens out, canines
fleshing, breakfast is served,
Hour after hour, twilight finally
setting in,
He leads the way, pride
following, all is quiet,
Full moon forming perfect
silhouettes, to lull till he turns in,
Eyes glowing in the dark he
inspects his kingdom still so quiet,
Big cat in the dark, full moon
his backdrop,
With a final roar, actor to his
audience, he lets the curtains drop.
read this I love this poem xoxo.
goodnight.
