is a kaleidoscope of emotion
and bravado---accepts

the forest
smaller animals
and trees in-between
as his domain --
scents flowers in bloom.
At threats to his inheritance

muscles stiffen
hackles raise
side snarls
fearful of no one --

leader of the pack.

It doesn't look like you're running out of steam to me Richard.
