i'm sad for the lion...but I'm glad you're life was spared....no, it was no compromise...i'm sure you'll always remember that lion your whole life.....

To face a lion live is different viewing it on screen, to look at the lion constantly in the eyes has a way of showing it 'who is boss'. Lines are wonderful to read.

A valid reason to conquer the king....all clear in the last stanza...a good, interesting flow throughout..awesome and inspiring....expecting more from you -thanks

I DO NOT WANT YOU TO LEAVE. YOU SHOULD NOT!

AWESOME! ! ! great rhymes and rhythm........excellently described piece woven witha great flow of words.........10++++++++

we should go hunting sometime...your lion for my deer...lol i liked this piece. very vivid and good use of imagery.10

Alf, this poems excellent, has lots of feelings, has my thoughts on this, why kill a beast of wonder so full of life, to hang dead on any wall. Warm regards Bob 10+++

thanks for sharing this poem.its different from other poems.

My poem Lion Roars Again is my greatest inspiration of the wild. Your poem a lion roars has just acknowledged that thought. I admire a lion and your thoughts
