Stand Out and Be Counted
blow your horn
turn your lights on
stand up and be
counted
be a champion
for you were born a
cat
and you grew
to be a lion

Baby Lion
You bought a baby lion
And you didn't tell
Then you made me watch as you wrestled it
You laughed and blinked
A fateful blink for that was your last
Off you fell to your chilling lust.

Haiku Trilogy
Haiku Trilogy
Fox poises mid-step
Rabbit scent tantalizes
Mouth waters wildly
Eyes peer intently
Haunches crouched, slung low to ground
Biding time to spring
Mountain lion growls
Padded feet part tall grasses
Hunter now hunted

Leo living large
Lion lying in his lair
Big belly bloated
Zebra and Zebu
Warily watching, worried
Ready to run
Fatigued full feline
Snoozes in the savannah
Animals amble

Nature Speaks
NATURE SPEAKS(satirical Haiku)
The wind blows heavy
The branches of trees dancing
Baboon is thrown out.
The Bird is singing
Butterflies feed on nectar
Chameleon dormant.
The bee is buzzing
flame of the forest blossoms
....And the lion king dies.

Lion
The mighty lion
sees his own face in the pool.
Does he get frightened?
He drinks of the pool
after a meal of fresh meat.
Is his parched throat quenched?
He lays in the shade
resting his weary eyelids.
What haunts his nightmares?
