Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

King

King


The Lion, as the King of Beasts, is known:

     yet, not the strongest species on his own,

          and not the largest beast to stand alone;

but still, he sits upon his self-made throne.


For sure, his stately attitude enshrines

     the full respect that leadership designs.

          With cocky gait, full mane, he fast assigns...

each creature, large or small, conforms...resigns.
