Lioness Poem by Chloe Evangeline

I watch & wait
I ponder silently
Whether to snap or tear
I wonder
I leap and shoot
never easing
running until I catch it
bring it down
'snap'
and it's done
smiles and growls
my children; my life
come to eat
as their father
gives a roar
telling the rest to follow
onto the next prarie
the next life
and he comes
he nuzzles
and I love him again
He is the king
I am his Lioness
we rule
do not move
or you will become
my prey
'snap'
