tenacious in intensity if they both click

(a threatened species is both a scavenger and a predator
eating anything that the large claws can crush)

MLMM's Wordle given words:
bastard glimpse rubble trickle bonfires wallow bulge tenacious
liminal (relating to a transitional or initial stage of a process)
supplicant (a petitioner, a beggar, a pupil)
circumspect (cautious, prudent)
pique (to affect with sharp irritation and resentment)

The bastard of the male species
is both a scavenger and a predator
A glimpse from out of the rubble may
not show a threatened species though

But instead it is one out to conquer and dominate
It perhaps starts as liminal as a newborn babe
A trickle in its desire but open to bonfires of fiery
affections upon clutching an elegant female

Not supplicant by nature nor to wallow
in frustrations but with a bulge of pockets
of greenbacks thrown generously for all to see

The elegant conquest circumspect in her response
piqued at being treated as an object but is expected
to go along as both are game for some fun

That is how it all starts in a loving relationship
tenacious in intensity if they both click and remain
sincere with good intentions

Or alternatively they may both part company
not without stormy drama in some cases happy in
knowing that it was good when it lasted
