The Lioness
by Marilyn Seray → (All Poetry by Marilyn Seray)
  
Share   Print  Save   Follow   Share on Facebook

A nap suits her, so she slumbers in the tall
thicket.

Mistaking her slumber as an opportunity to
leave an oh so obvious subliminal scent
it’s not a good idea.

She’s smart and can smell it in her sleep.

No need for her to get up now. Such small
feed, it’s not worth the trouble, besides, she’s
not that hungry anyway.

When the time is right, one swift elegant pounce
and this uninvited nuisance will wind up being a
mere appetizer.

Do not provoke her by entering her
domain.

She protects what’s hers…lioness that she is.

Marilyn,
This is most excellent! You have painted her in full command of her choices, the artist of her own destiny.
(Thanks much for your clarity re this review.
My sense is you know it was the error was
unintended) With a smile for you, Vicky

Those big cats are so elegant and graceful, so captivating to watch. Your poem reminds me of a documentary I saw recently. It painted the lioness in such a beautiful light, much like the picture you have above.
Great job! :)
