Notes About The Poem

Astonishing Creatures

Love the calm in the glory of lions. Oh, a flung continent that begs for reckons. Volatile air, agitated flocks, and dusty fife. Since humanity's birth, lifeblood has stirs. The city is chaotic and bustling with life, It disrupts the acumen, causing inner strife. As I get closer and closer to the city bosom, Between suitable and improper, it's rife. Hooves on the plains drumming out a rhythm. In the thickets of the jungle, where lions schism. Along sacred rivers, there is nothing but space. A nation that consumes without leaving a minim.  Mambas return to the web in quest of a large place. To nurse at a dynamic and fluctuating pace. My magnificent lifeblood, O priceless African green. Excellent crocodile eyes and needle-shaped face.

They are smart, fierce animals--as your poem so well describes, Lasaad. Your muse is working overtime my friend as you venture into variety of themes and forms.

Nature is teeming with life.... lions, mambas and crocodiles....each having its own place...! Great descriptions, dear friend ! I feel you are more at ease with the difficult forms of poetry; pantoum, rubaiyat, villanelle etc

Wonderful descriptions in this well written Rubaiyat, Lasaad. There is so much we could learn from nature if we could just slow down a bit an observe. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though your poetry with us my friend. Bill

Lions are magnificent animals that you describe with”Hooves on the plains drumming out a rhythm” a world of their own….profound. :)Paulette
