Queen of the Savannah

[twist]

Sleek beauty
Silently bounding
On velvet padded paws
Gold against the setting sun
In a shimmer of heat

A jeep out of nowhere
men with rifles
take aim in the haze
There lies the lifeless body
Of Queen of the Savannah


I wrote the 1st verse some time ago and just added the 2nd one.

Very nice. Yes, the first verse could stand on its own, but the second verse adds so much more.

Thanks very much for your comments, 108 fountains.
