The Lion!!
Lion waits, watches, creeps as his prey stays fast asleep
Quiet, slow that lion does go not to awake his prized sleeping peep
Then he jumps! Cuts through the air, silently
His prey unaware the dinner he will be
YesNo How do you like my poem??

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!

Im not very good at poetry but i'll give it a try:

The Lion!!
Lion waits, watches, creeps as his prey stays(lies?) fast asleep
Quiet, slow that(the) lion does go not(???) to awake his prized sleeping peep(what does it mean?)Big Smile
Then he jumps! Cuts through the air, silently
His prey unaware the dinner he will be


Ok, my version:

The Lion
The Lion waits and watches his prey as it lies fast asleep,
Slowly and quietly, he creeps so as not to awake his prized meal,
Then he jumps, swoosh.. cutting through the air like a blade,
His prey still sleeping, unaware of the dinner he has become!!

I love your version of my poem except for the meal part.
What means prey or meal but rhymes with creep and asleep?
Thank you for helping me though!!Sleep

Maybe the prey is a sheep, it rhymes with "creep" and "asleep".

The lion waits, thinks,
Will his girl tell him he stinks?
As his self-confidence crumbles away,
he waits, thinks and pray,
pray his girl will have pity
in his bathroom there was no TP,
he left in a hurry,
God help him, a bit stinky.




I am sorry, I got totally crazy, and I made that up. I have serious problems, I know. But I kind of liked it. Notice how "pray" reminds you of "prey" too... That's pure art, isn't it? I am gonna get famous, I feel it. Gonna make a few thousand bucks out of it, oh yeah.

PS: Of course that "TP" was supposed to be pronounced with the stress on the first syllable, the T...  TEEpee. Like Beavis pronounces it.
