CLEVER PREDATOR

Folder: 
JOURNAL #34

so admirably he lounges

never idle long

robust lion

a moment in splendid repose

one stealth sleepy eye

solemnly awakens

to skitter about the

trampled edges of

his grassy bed

no interloper near

only

the mid day sun stands tall

patting  further heat from its rays

into his impressive fawn coat

a low breathing statue of

powerful flesh

he yawns

standing to his full magnificent

height and breadth

he lopes off

quiet conquering king

fully conscience of

every walking, flying,

crawling or swimming creature

of the earth

that crosses his

Clever Predator's path......................
