Wait and watch
unsuspecting prey
may arrive early
or late
The time to pounce
with every ounce
of energy
is left to fate

Signals
Monkeys chatter
birds flutter
in their own language
they seem to say
Run gazelles
for your life
the queen of the jungle
is on her way

Span
The belief about

They relief about
deadlines is
they end
when you’re gone

Lineage
Being of
kingly descent
carries a
heavy fee
Crosshairs
and a price
upon your head
that’s called royalty

Worth
It’s not how large
your tribe is
or with how many
you agree
But how few
there are
in this world
with your pedigree

Fairplay
In the jungle
there are some
unwritten rules
one must obey
Equally fair
for the predator
equally fair
for the prey

Dichotomy
A motion blur
of fury and fur
the beauty of a beast
on a kill
A gentle purr
and not a stir
once she’s had
her feast and fill

Camouflage
The forests
they have conspired
unhesitatingly
they have lied
By muffling
the regal footfall
and masking
the tawny hide

Habitat
Not where they
spot your pugmarks
not the jungles
where you roam
But how you
mark your territory
so that you
can call it home

Mothers
Poached, hunted
trapped, marked
and still
not extinct
Because lesser species
underestimate
the power of
maternal instinct

Tigress
I'm sorry
if I don't fit
into your
tame stereotypes
But I'd rather
be the one
with the
black and golden stripes
