This speaks Nature's power; those poachers in greed of seeking rhino's horn were killed by lions; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Although sad I suppose it was payback for the poachers who do endanger a lot of these wild animals, this is an excellent poem and story, very well written****kahpot

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
Wow! What an intriguing story/poem. It so sad to read about man/poachers and the mutilation and death of animals for greedy gain. My... karma stepped in on this one. I was shocked as I read your author's notes. =^..^= rawr!

Comment from Spitfire
Ha, ha. What justice. Each stanza captures a climatic moment. Pride, of course, refers to a group of lions. Alliteration with feels full and setting sun. Assonance with knife and lie. I might suggest a comma after knife.

Comment from phill doran
Hello Anon
Very good this. I read the same article (I live in South Africa) And I know the park in question: we visited it some time back.
I do not know of a single South African I have spoken to about this who did not smile and while one should not revel in another's suffering the 'poetic' justice of the circumstances make it hard to be sympathetic.
Good writing. The descending 'shape' if intentional works well. I see a lion's tooth. The starkness of the lower-case and most unpunctuated text also works for me: the words 'trickle' and have their own internal pace.
I wish you well with your further writing. I enjoyed this work.
cheers

You live in a beautiful place and how lucky you are, to see such wonderful wildlife. While I do not condone suffering, nature does fight back. Thanks for reading and reviewing, I appreciate your positive comments. Elaine
Comment from Robbie Yates
What a fascinating topic to write about. I enjoyed this poem about nature triumphing over mankind. Great use of shape in your poem, and lovely choice of picture too. Five stars.
