THE ROAR,THE SQUEAL

a call to mate

THE ROAR, THE SQUEAL

 

The great beast roars to deafen ears

as it echoes through

the Kenyan landscape

yet it is merely

a love call to his mate

 

When my mate squeals

for attention and wants

to be near me

touch me, hold me

discover the consummate place

yet it is merely a love call to a fervent dawn

Love in the wild! Love is wild. And definitely roars in the beginning, then in time purrs. I would describe this poem as exciting. Watch those claws when the safari is over and you get back to the tent!

The call and the answering of it in the animal kingdom seems so simple and we humans complicate it, but writing of it like this there is no mistake. Well done, powerful in so few lines. Love it.

Communication, often misunderstood by those outside and at times by those inside the circle. It is these misunderstandings and understandings that make or break relationships. Good write Betty

The call of the wild ubiquitous throughout nature, to its own kind no more a reminder to bring home the family pride, the poem here a symbol of kindredship and harmony ..

Inspiring 🦁

Well okay, but no tickling, not with those claws! Well, unless you want to hear me squeal like a little girl cub 😊
But, and I think this may very well be your point, that we are all animalistic at times. Sometimes it's playful too!
We're not all that different are we? Well, apart from the house, carpets, slippers and broadband connection that is 😊

[Betty Hermelee]

Very true Lorry, and a very clever review!
Thank you my friend,

Your poem highlights the universality of love and how it can be expressed in both majestic natural phenomena and intimate human interactions.

[Betty Hermelee]

Your review is spot on! Thank you so much!
