Lion

Lurking circumspectly Lest prey freely scampers Labeled king of jungle Labours for sweet triumph Like soul-devourer*, who Lies lifeless soon --- crushed by Lord Saviour, God of love.
* 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. March 14, 2022 3rd place, "In Search Of Prey" Pleiades Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Joseph May; judged on 3/30/2022.
