The better to see you with~

You bit into

 the meat of me

spit me out 

   you didn't realize

this leo lioness

 has sharpened claws

thought yourself,

   prettier too                              

as you puffed

  your wide chest

I left a gap

  wide enough

for another

 foolish woman

who follows me

 to actually see

what's behind

  those chops

you lick so

methodically

I take this as a jab of sorts or a victory sign at someone who thought he, she can hurt you with their claws or as I take it as insults and you proved to them you are the winner at the end for you can be a lioness...A powerful write...Thank you for sharing...:)

All fairy tales have some truth to them Sami, I bet any number of people have lived this tale. Thanks muchly... ;-)

[Sami Khalil]

OK. You are welcome...:)

[redflutterby]

HA!! Dare I say this is brilliant?? Wouldnt it be great to leave those evil jerks marked so the next potential victim can avoid them? Lol... ROARRRRR..

[Frieda P]

Ha I knew you'd appreciate this one! All 'evil jerks' should be marked, yep... ;-) Love the ROARRRR!

[DrD]

My God you're absolutely brutal when you want to be. The work is an exciting read and the message is all too clear. Enjoyable but oddly fearsome.

[Frieda P]

Haha, what do they say Doc, all's fair in love & war? Thanks!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Letting the enemy make the first is a great strategy, then you know what you are up against and how to counter it.

[Frieda P]

You coulda told me that sooner Dale, thanks muchly!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Opppps my bad :p

[Lydia Shutter]

You are a mischievous one, Frieda! Don't mess with the fire signs.....and I speak from experience. I am an Aries! :) Sounds like you put some man in his place with this one. I enjoyed it. Lydi**

[Frieda P]

Woo better watch out for you too, I'm actually a pretty tolerant person, till you push me too far, then there's no turning back, thanks Lydi! ;-)

[icelandicblue]

What's been done is a public service after all! He's been marked for all eternity...Go Leos!

[Frieda P]

Haha lovely to have you on the cheering squad!! Give me an L.........................

[Rita L. Sev]

Once bitten - but you have bitten back! This wolf will end up in a pack of one, without even Granny for company... :) A Devilish delight, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Lol, without Granny even! Thanks Rita..... ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Yes, avoid the wrath of the Leo at all costs, point well-taken ;P I love that image of the gap in the puffed chest...this piece speaks volumes to the importance of balancing temptation and logic...nice work Mrs.R ;)

[Frieda P]

Hahaha, now that made me laugh Benji! Tempation and logic, they hardly go together, do they? ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Haha definitely not, especially with Leos, right Mrs.R? ;)

[Frieda P]

RAWR!!! ;-P

[kublakhan27]

Hahaha Wait, who's the wolf here? ;P

[Frieda P]

Don't make me blow your door down LOL ;-P

[kublakhan27]

LOL You opened the door for a comment there Mrs.R, but I'll give you a break ;)

[Frieda P]

Haha maybe I shouldn't respond after having two drinks...hmm three maybe ;-)

[kublakhan27]

Hahaha you've already lost count? ;)

[Dye]

This is awesome. Expose you for who you are, great "fairy tale".

[Frieda P]

Thanks Dye...after reading your's earlier, I can see we're cut from the same cloth....

[Tom]

You may have been bitten but you weren't swallowed by this fiendish beast, and you had the goodness of heart to warn his next innocent victim about the dangers of this folly !

An inspiring, creative poem Frieda, with much detail and imagery in so few but pertinent words ! And fantastic graphics to compliment your alluring choice of words !!

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tom...twice bitten so I had to get my Moxy on, glad you enjoyed my little rant!

[TL Boehm]

there ya go! eat or be eaten - and some of those wolfie types don't realize when they're messing with a bigger set of teeth than they possess. Git 'em!

[Frieda P]

Exactly Tam, you know the drill!
