Lion Can Be My Pet Poem by LULU MERO

Lion Can Be My Pet



It has passed Decades for the day to arrive.
I never knew when, where, with whom to be
I am not talking about the end of the world oe
Lets say, Holy Mary slept with Joseph before Eve

But that is not enough to convey what I wanted to say
Since young I used to be scared of Lions although am African
The King of the jungle, dominates and control all other animals
I never dared to get closer or even imagine his presence get near

So I promised myself to stay away from them lions if not be far from his jungle
As days passed and my childish mentality started to diminish I wished to acquaint
Learning that lions are just big cats, yes they are in the jungle and not hungry all times
I developed my fear resistance and try to take them as pet if not friends and contacts

I grew friendship with this lion, yes i told him my childhood stories including the fear of them
He told me FEAR NOT! because I am your saver, I will protect you from myself and other predictors
Me with my friend lion were so happy together; play together, eat together I mean all life sharing
Each day I learned how to love my friend Lion, I fed him with various almost to make him vegetarian

What a lovely imagination you have. And it is such a grand thing to apply it in poetry. Read mine – The Cat is free – Can you write one like that? Adeline
