Ekphrastic Octahex

A chapter in the book Interpretations For Consideration

Feast

by Debra White



The watchful king sits on his throne
alone, he's keeping guard
whilst pride gnaw flesh and bone.
His fearsome roar, a calling card

to send hyenas on their way.
Today's fare; wildebeest -
its carcass on display.
His Majesty enjoyed the feast.
