Aussie Roo
bounding along,
covering vast
distances, and
ever alert
for sounds of
'Gunfire' With your
hearing acute
instinct makes you
jump away,
Kangaroo buck.
Leading your
majestic mob,
Northward, you
ordain doe to
pouch their Joey's
quickly, then all
run to the
safety of
thick bush
undergrowth.
'Victorious'
waiting, thirsty,
Xeric
you are, but
zealously free.

Author Notes
I have now made some major changes to my original poem as it did not meet the contest requirements so having another go. Once again I may be totally off the contest requirement again with this one so just have to wait and see.
Apologies to my original reviewers and thank you for your great support. And to anyone else who reads and reviews this new version I thank you.
