Image: A Lion lying Supine (here)
The given words:
pinch garden supine monarch extremity tantalize
culpable fragrant orange dance oblivion
phosphenes (a luminous image produced by
mechanical stimulation of the retina)
A pinch of informal indignity
On the garden grounds lying supine
The 'Lion King' in all ignominy
A monarch still regal in a recline
Such the extremity of a royal person
Tantalizing that they do no wrong
Culpable of acts of intransigence
With a fragrant but delicate romp
Orange hues of the animal kingdom
Rituals of deathly dance before a kill
Prey's phosphenes' sight ticket to oblivion
Pounced on by big cats leisurely at will
For Georgia's hosting at MLMM's Wordle #59 and
Kerry's at Real Toad's Tuesday platform!

ReplyDeleteOne pounce you won't walk away from. Those upon high try not to be seen in an indignant light
