Carpe Diem: Leo



The king's spirit lives
true savana royalty 
nature's pure hunter

Nature's pure hunter
undefeated in his kingdom
a fair fight is his

A fair fight is his
a gun steels his throne away
regal tragedy

Regal tragedy
trophy hunter's hollow pride
shoots him from the truck

Shoots him from the truck
the "great white hunter" prevails
The king's spirit lives

  1. not a fair fight at all....reminds me of Sarah Palin shooting moose from a helicopter...,the middle verse is my favorite, and it's the turning point of everything....

  4. Sam ... what a nice cascading haiku (It's a nice way to write haiku) with such a sad story hiding in it. Who are we, humans, to take the Lion's kingdom. Thank you for sharing.
