Linda Alice Fowler Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

To those who were curious, this poem is the attenuated version (to fit within contest requirements) of 'Panther's Roar'. laf

Panther

Have you heard the Panther’s roar?	
A sickly sweet odor.
He traps his prey in his paws,
devours them with beastly jaws. 

Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
Three torpid days, he’ll snore.
Appetite he can’t sate. 
Constant hunger is his fate.

Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
He requires so much more.
Dragon eludes him despite his feat. 
He’ll never taste the other white meat.

Gershon Wolf October 13, 2020 at 7:23 PM Very fine penning, Linda. Looks like a winner in the contest to me... By the way: If called by a panther, don't anther. (That's courtesy of Ogden Nash).

Janice Canerdy October 13, 2020 at 6:39 PM Descriptive, well-written piece, Linda. Janice Linda Alice Fowler October 13, 2020 at 6:42 PM Thank you Janice. hugs {} Linda

Beryl Edmonds October 13, 2020 at 4:27 PM Love the write Linda, (would have liked to read the two verses that you removed) superb content and great rhythmical beat. Belle Linda Alice Fowler October 13, 2020 at 4:38 PM Thank you Belle. I really hated to delete them, but wanted to meet requirements for the contest. Once the contest is judged, I will re-insert the two and notify you of the update. :)

Wendy Watson October 13, 2020 at 2:03 PM I enjoyed reading this, Linda and love the repetition of the first line which draws our attention to the most important fact about the myth. If it's for the contest, I believe that Julia asked for a maximum of 12 lines but do check with her. Each verse stands in its own right luckily. Linda Alice Fowler October 13, 2020 at 2:29 PM Thank you Wendy! I removed two stanzas. It still makes sense (I think). Fun to write anyway :) Linda
