Once
King of the
Jungle

My roar
Triumphantly
Rumbled

All
Cowered at my
Sight

Be it
Day or
Night

Reduced
Now to an
Enclosure

With
Limited
Exposure

The
Price that I must
Pay

In this world
To
Stay

Struggling
To maintain my
Pride

While dying
Each day
Inside

In a
Dream
I took to
Flight

Overcoming
Earthly
Fright

Soaring
To
Unheard of
Heights

Throughout
The day
And into
Night

On
Gossamer wings of
Pure
Delight

I’ve had enough
Leave me
Alone

I’m weary
Worn out to the
Bone

I won’t respond to
Text or
Phone

So lose
Your snide, critical
Tone

Hibernation skills
I plan to
Hone

Ignore
My snorts and raspy
Groans

I’ve had enough
Leave me
Alone

A sky like No other I’ve Seen

Anywhere I’ve ever Been

ribbon of water threading downstream in autumn winter on its heels

Once King of the Jungle

My roar Triumphantly Rumbled

All Cowered at my Sight

Be it Day or Night

Reduced Now to an Enclosure

With Limited Exposure

The Price that I must Pay

In this world To Stay

Struggling To maintain my Pride

While dying Each day Inside

Crunch, crunch Crunch

I would wager a Hunch

All love fallen leaves A bunch

nature’s medicine the best of panaceas for all that ails you

In a Dream I took to Flight

Overcoming Earthly Fright

Soaring To Unheard of Heights

Throughout The day And into Night

On Gossamer wings of Pure Delight

Cradling Tomorrow’s promise In her Hands

Like millions of mothers Across all Lands

United in Love They do Stand

Together to Show That they Can

Make Mankind’s future Truly Grand

I’ve had enough Leave me Alone

I’m weary Worn out to the Bone

I won’t respond to Text or Phone

So lose Your snide, critical Tone

Hibernation skills I plan to Hone

Ignore My snorts and raspy Groans

I’ve had enough Leave me Alone

Drawing to A Close Where Did the time Go?

Panicked screams Of the techy Nerd Hung suspended In midair Unheard

Others nary A word did Catch

Whenever He opened his Yap

Having Morphed into digital Form

No longer In sync with the Norm

Trapped in limbo To weather the Storm

Ruing the day He’d been Born

A sky like
No other I’ve
Seen

Anywhere
I’ve ever
Been

ribbon of water
threading downstream in autumn
winter on its heels

Once
King of the
Jungle

My roar
Triumphantly
Rumbled
