Notes About The Poem

Poetic Form: Crown of Sonnets: Enclosed Rhyme
Inspired: 2023 December 12
Image: Rare Black Jaguar Cub by UK Animal Sanctuary

Adorable Rare Black Jaguar Cub Born at English Animal Sanctuary

Song of The Jaguar No 2: ABBA

Inspiring, crescendo ... the ascension,
of myth and legend as Yaguara,
or "Death in one leap" the sleek frame, Jaguar
as if it's from another dimension.
Leopards bit spotty, but Jaguars take
a rosette form, tell-tale signs like water
that natures them. As a jungle squatter,
prey, and time of hunt, don't discriminate
their mettle. Domains--mine alone; moms play
dads too, tongues play teeth too, cubs play adult
as hunt molds age. Overcast shades result
in a Black Panther coexist display.
Imperil: human expansion collide,
... imagine our continental divide.

Your picturesque take on wild life is deep and fascinating! Jaguars are streamlined in such a way that they can leap and run like arrows and they are the beauty and terror of the forest. Their mettle cannot be underrated. Brilliant rhyming and versification, dear poet friend.

Hi, Valsa. I leave the image out from the Song series, though pictures are an easier telltale bit of info. Thank you again for your explicit review and sweet adulations, my friend. Aloha, William

I'm sorta writing overtime, I have been reading your Anec... form/couplet and tend to give it a whirl, when my quill rests a bit...but I'm finding like yours here if it wasn't for Valsa--yikes. I like it when you write your reviews, even like this one, Silent One. Thank you, my friend. Aloha, William

Your song of fauna resonates throughout your poem my friend. Death in one leap--moms play dads too, tongues play teeth too, cubs play adult as hunt molds age---your descriptions bring forth the lively scenes of life in the wild. A FAVE for the reality and depth of your ending lines, William.
