Lions
Lions are big cats with manes to frame their faces
They prowl in the savanna, which a lion's favorite place is.
A lion has a loud, fierce roar - a scary, dreadful sound
Elephants and hippos hear their roars from miles around
They would like to eat a zebra or giraffe from off the plains
They drag the meal to give their cubs, and stop their hunger pains.
Mama lioness does the hunting, while papa lion guards the pride
The cub soon learns to hunt for prey along his parents' side.
Lions can be lazy and will purr themselves to sleep,
But watch out when they're wide awake, for they can quickly leap.

I was always told that about the leaf's underside too. Nice to put it into a poem. And I like the rhyming in the first part of the lion poem: "faces & place is". Thanks Donna. Hope Gull Haven is moving along!
ReplyDeleteGreat poems, I love the Lion one and have called through my small child to read it to him. He approves.
