Denis Martindale Poems

The alpha male was at his peak,
Triumphant, in his prime,
His muscles showing his physique
Confirming him sublime...
...

When polar bears go walking round
With Mother at their side,
They lumber on, yet pound-for-pound,
Each has a sense of pride...
...

My camera clicked and caught the scene,
Three polar bears in view,
I didn't mean to intervene,
Yet this was somewhat new...
...

White tiger, wading slowly in,
Contented as can be,
Away from all your kith and kin,
You find tranquillity...
...

'Keep up! ' the lioness declared
To lion cubs behind,
Because, in truth, she really cared,
With dangers on her mind...
...

I hear the song of your sadness,
I see the tears from your soul,
I feel the anguish and madness
As you seek self-control...
...

The tiger wearied by the heat
Felt strength was waning fast
And hardly fit as to compete
Until the heat had past...
...

The wolf woke up, chilled by the snow
That nestled on his nose,
He knew that snow was slow to go,
Thus faced the Winter woes...
...

When tigers run and run and run
Beneath that sun on high,
They soon lose all their sense of fun
And simply want to lie...
...

Two cheetahs waited, laying low,
With mischief on their minds,
Surveying wildlife on the go
And hoping for the signs...
...
