The lioness first saw her mate
And sensed her future set,
It was as if a call from Fate,
The call she hoped to get...
She played it cool, like big cats do,
Pretended not to care,
Yet making sure she stayed in view,
So that he'd stay aware...
The lion didn't have one thought
Including her that day,
But his attention soon was caught
And she helped this to stay...
Her lion cubs were proof of this
As Nature took its course,
Now he is hers and she is his,
As friendship each explores...
Such is the way that lions find
The meaning of their years,
Until, they, too, leave life behind,
As old age slowly nears...
The lioness could see God's plan
And yet not praise His name,
Just like some children born of Man
Who sometimes act the same...

LIONESS
PARROT
The parrot pecked and pecked and pecked,
His meal was oh so sweet,
When it was tricky to inspect,
He gripped it with his feet...
He pecked and pulled and pecked and pulled,
Until he was cross-eyed,
Until at last his anger cooled,
His beak now opened wide...
'I won't give up! I won't give in!'
So had another go,
At first, he started with a grin,
Till chagrin came to grow...
He stamped his feet upon the food,
Then he jumped up and down,
Displaying rage in such foul mood,
His crown now wore a frown...
He tore a morsel off a strip
Then chomped the rascal fast,
Like he was on an ego trip,
Now he ate food at last...
He ate the lot that afternoon,
Despite his flagging powers,
Then suddenly he stopped to swoon...
Worn out, he slept for hours!

:::
CURIOUS, TOO!
The tiger woke up suddenly,
A fragrance filled the air
And then great curiosity
Caused him to wonder where...
He walked around to seek it out
And found a dainty flower,
A precious thing beyond a doubt,
Its perfume sweet not sour...
He'd never found its like before,
Did others grow nearby?
While he had time, he could explore,
It couldn't hurt to try...
So off he went past birds and trees
Not knowing how birds flew,
Just glad one flower came to please
And offered something new...
Another flower's scent was nice,
He tracked that down O.K.,
It was as if God blessed him twice,
That pleasant Summer's day...
He asked what greater could he find,
Then saw a waterfall!
The sudden sight just blew his mind!
Its beauty said it all!
Denis Martindale, copyright, October 2014.
The poem is based on the magnificent wildlife
painting by Stephen Gayford and its title is
Curious II, hence the poem title Curious, Too!

:::
LOST SOUL!
The elephant awoke from sleep,
But found himself alone,
So peace of mind was hard to keep,
His heart had turned to stone...
To think, the others left him there,
Just wandered far away,
What could have made them not to care,
Depart at break of day?
Yet which direction should he go?
Why bother with them now?
He chose his path and then walked slow,
Quite dead inside somehow...
Was this a nightmare, was this real?
No happy end in sight?
Alas, the facts had to reveal
His loneliness that night...
Yet God looked down and turned things round,
A second chance to give,
His family returned and found
The one they were once with...
And everything was fine again,
With each thrilled to the core,
As one lost soul, right there and then,
Felt loved for evermore...

PUZZLED!
The cuddly baby Gorilla
Was very poor indeed
And that's why he had no villa,
No servants for each need...
No Rolls-Royce parked inside the drive,
No Rembrandts or Renoirs,
But he felt joy to be alive
Beneath the sun and stars...
He had no suit in black or grey,
No cufflinks, shirts or ties,
No Rolex told the time of day,
He merely watched the skies...
He didn't chomp on caviar,
He didn't swig champagne,
But he was loved by Ma and Pa,
Come sunshine or come rain...
That's why I'm puzzled even now,
Why Man thinks he's so great,
For all his wars and bombs somehow
Just prove he loves to hate...
I'd rather be an innocent
Gorilla in the mist,
Than think myself intelligent
And act the egotist...

CAUGHT BY THE LIGHT!
The lioness was deep in thought,
The shade clouds minds that way,
Until she by the light was caught,
Then wisdom came to stay...
And hunting skills are quick to snatch
The instincts still inside,
Such that one's prey one's meant to catch,
Or else it's time to hide...
When sunshine grants more details seen,
The prey sees just as well,
With just the gap that's in-between
To halt things for a spell...
That's why she seldom hunts alone,
It's just a numbers game,
The oldest game that she has known,
Survival without shame...
How else could she raise cubs for years?
Though judge her if you will,
Yet those who work and have careers
Are those that seldom kill...
Their supermarket's there in town,
With meat that waits in-store,
While lions simply hunt prey down
And kill by tooth and claw...

PERSIAN PRINCE
Each day, the leopard woke from sleep
And looked at his domain,
A daily vigil he must keep,
This land to rule again...
From fellow leopards strolling by,
Or those that hunt for food,
The leopard knew the reasons why
He kept his sullen mood...
No challenger had fought and won,
Or forced him from his home,
That's why he basked beneath the sun
And had no need to roam...
The land was his and there's no doubt
He seeks this year-by-year
And so, if no-one throws him out,
Each day, you'll find him here...
Responsible as he could be,
He always gave a damn,
Thus he preserved his destiny,
To state, 'It's who I am!'
As if he were some Persian Prince,
A sultan or a tsar,
He's stayed that way and ever since,
That's how some leopards are...

BALANCING ACT!
A lonesome leopard climbed up high,
The branch sustained his weight,
Yet balancing was hard to try,
Such skill he must create...
So there he was with swishing tail
As angry as could be,
Because, of course, he mustn't fail,
As that would hurt, you see...
With one leg here and one leg there,
But hope not yet in sight,
With back legs trembling, taking care,
Claws holding on quite tight...
He gulped as he maintained control,
Yet passing time brought faith,
Till something happened in his soul
That made him bold and brave...
The trembling stopped and came no more,
He seemed to glide along,
Sure-footed now, less need to claw,
His muscles felt quite strong...
When fears are conquered one-by-one,
It's wondrous what we do,
Just like that leopard having fun,
Success will come to you!

SILENT DANGER!
The tiger gently touched the ground
As he in stealth mode stepped,
Almost as if to make no sound,
He walked but almost crept...
As confident as he could be,
Some dangers still exist,
Increasingly humanity,
For poachers still persist...
This trail, to him, was quite well-known,
He knew it back and forth,
He walked it every day alone,
Slowly from south to north...
It served him well, providing food,
Enough to get him by,
That's why he savoured this sweet mood,
Beneath that pleasant sky...
But silent danger, who knows best,
The hunter or the prey?
His strength and speed meant he was blessed,
Unless men came his way...
For men lay traps and men shoot guns
No tiger should ignore,
They only have to meet them once,
Then death meets them for sure...
