Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- I Am the Lion - Who Are You -

King of the animales! 
This is the easiest way to describe a lion 
It likes to bask in their brilliance 
Lions are big cats with a short tawny coat 
which is lighter on the underside 
White lions occur - but they are not albinos 
Lions are outgoing and everybody's favorites 


All lions have claws retractable 
Mine is decorated with nail polish 
Lion's element is fire 
Energy - intuition - power 
The typical lion is creative - strong-willed 
temperamental and dramatic 


The weight of a lion is considered normal 160-275 kg 
I try to stay under 60 kg 
The average age 17-18 years among lionesses 
but there are examples where they can be closer to 21 years old 
Males are often around 16 years old 
Die young and beautiful 


The best hunters in a lion pride is the lionesses 
Yes, I feel like a hunter every time I go in the store 
An adult male lion can eat up to 43 kg of meat in one day 
My male lion must get by with much less 
... Imagine if my male lion was 275 kg 
The male lion is polite and patient externally 
but arrogant and vain inside 
He is impulsive and good at repairing things 


Can you roar like a lion 
The lions are among the best roar holders 
An adult lion's roar can be heard up to 8 km distance 
Dinner .... finished ..... come and eat!!! 
We as humans makes sure that the children receive food 
But in the world of lions the adults eat before the kids 
Stability and stubbornness - scratch and dent in the trees 
marks their area - putting the wedding ring on the finger 
My fate planet is the sun - 
My luck stone is the diamond 
I have a great temperament and a huge demand for attention 


But I am among many well known and famous LIONS: 
Crown Princess Mette-Marit (Norway), Mick Jagger, Napoleon Bonaparte 
Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Moussolini, Jacquelin Kennedy 
Carl Jung, Alfred Hitchcock and Arnold Schwarzenegger

Gwendolen Song August 2, 2014 at 3:34 AM Although I am not at all involved in Zodiac ideology, I do appreciate deeply the back and forth comparisons between you and the lion. The LION represents to me the King of the universe. He is my Lion of Judah! You have marvelously aligned a real lion and a human. I am quite taken back with the power of this poem! Anne-Lise Andresen August 2, 2014 at 5:22 AM - Glad you enjoy my poem, Gwen :) Thanks for the nice visit and comments. - oxox // Anne-Lise :)

Justin Bordner July 26, 2014 at 1:51 PM You know me so well Anne, but my claws have no nail polish, just the stain of a long day's survival. Male lions hunt alone, by themselves able to capture prey stronger, faster, and larger than themselves. I got excited by all the fine details of lions you included in this poem of awesome anslogy and personality Anne. I like your roar and tail whip. Aggregate strength is what makes Lions the Lords of the jungle, the perfect beast! J.A.B. Anne-Lise Andresen July 26, 2014 at 1:56 PM - I have always been fascinated by lions - really beautiful animals! - Thanks for the nice visit and comments, Justin. - oxox // Anne-Lise :)
