Death In The Jungle Poem by Tan Pratonix
Death In The Jungle
When leopards prowl,
When lean wolves howl,
When vultures swoop
Upon their prey,
When panthers leap,
When lions growl,
Then Death removes
His sinister cowl
And soon begins
To maim and slay.
Where eagles fly,
Where grey sharks lie,
Where deadly snakes
In dark holes lurk,
Where scorpions hide,
Where screech owls cry,
There Death awaits
And bye and bye
He moves about
To do his work.
i really like this poem..macabre subject but well written and good rythmn..think the spelling of' bye and bye 'should be 'by and by'...can you check?

Great rhythm here. This truly is a dog-eat-dog world. In the circle of life, it's good to be on top, but sharks, and scorpions, and snakes and tigers, etc, etc, remind us that even for the alpha predators, death is never too far away.
