Haiku 5-7-5, syllable.

Even if they are caged and defeated-- Lions look so proud, noble and hold their baring against their caged lives.

I used 'thy' as it gave a sense of a far more 'crested' feel. One that allowed the nobility of the lion seem that much more. Anyone could put the, and it would sound less than the lion really looks, or is, in my eyes. I could not use any other word.

Proud thy noble beast
shall stir imagination;
Striking in defeat.

Yes Heather, the Lion is majestic, no matter where they are; in captivity or in the wild; the lion sleeps tonight. Thnx for sharing Heather, I really enjoyed this a great deal. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and be at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little terrified sister, Barbie

I love this because upon my visiting
the zoo on several past occasions
I always wondered how these awesome creatures
continued to radiate such majestic essense.
very concise .
Peace and joy',
