safari of poetry
.
Look at me the big game hunter
On a safari of poetry
Determined to capture the elusive feline
With words that pique curiosity
Searching through thick jungle bush
Her tropical metaphors left me bare
And a trail of her verses led me
Unexpectedly to her empty lair
Am I still the big game hunter
Or has the prey become me
For I set the trap
Yet, I’m captured by her poetry
It’s good to finally be back. One day this week, I will post some vacation pics.
The Lonely Author 
Reading your comments and all the silly exchanges was as entertaining as the post and almost as much fun as the wonderful picture – not quite, though. Love that photo!

Well, that tells us a lot about you. If you have nothing constructive to say, better to remain quiet and move one.
Sadly, some of us have to leave our descrutive little messages and demonstrate how little we really are.
Seek therapy my friend (asshole).
