In Lion Mode

When he was in his lion mode 
the pride left the vicinity as he would stalk.
Giving him as much space as any
irritated daddy lion would need they would boast.
Sometimes his wives could tell by his body language 
it was time to take the cubs for a walk
He was a lion of few words, 
but frankly, he communicated better than most.

I was thinking of my husband who has the entire den to himself all day; he stalks when other animals enter.
