The Need To Procreate

THE NEED TO PROCREATE
~~~~~~~~~


I walk not alone at night,
the stars my companions,
guide me to my destination.

The moon illuminates my path, 
lights where I place my feet,
along my treacherous way.

Along the mountains cliff ledge, 
a path, leading to my true love.
Perfumed air, a hint I'm nearing.

Her call, she watches me closing.
Be aware, hark, there are others,
they seek my attention too.

My snow leopard instincts kick in,
I roar my confidence, my presence.
My lady love purrs a welcome.

My genes passed on I roar,
my success no longer a contemplation.
I move on, a new path I follow.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart January 16, 2018 at 11:55 AM Intriguing cat eye point of view! Mick Talbot January 16, 2018 at 11:52 PM Fascinates me the lengths wildlife go to, to procreate. They do climb every mountain, and swim every sea. :-)

Lunita Blanca January 16, 2018 at 11:55 AM Nice write Mick. Life is geared in that direction. Mick Talbot January 16, 2018 at 11:47 PM Many thanks, Carlos,! True, but even that is abused by human's, not by the majority I hasten to add. Best wishes for 2018... Mick
