That's an interesting perspective and makes for a very good poem. This was very enjoyable to read and also the visual image works very well with it. Excellent imagery words. the message is a good one too.
Best wishes, Friend,
Alex :)

Hey there, Alex! Thanks so much! I remember you saying that you were like a chicken hawk! I can see that in the essential work you have done and are doing! Haha, a pint-sized power pack! Maddy

Aww. Yep. You're welcome, Maddy! I was youngest of five the smaller identical twin and I'm under 5 ft tall so yes I have to stand up tougher. You understand. :) Alex
Comment from C.M. Brown
I love this- "Dress that rhyme up with an image, the drop it like it hot". So cute, but there is some real depth there at the beginning- "follow your inner shepherd". Great job!

I enjoyed your image filled poem on writing a poem. it is a battle sometimes. Sometimes we actually win when we complete a poem.
Great rhyme and meter. You won the battle!

Comment from tfawcus
This is a most apposite metaphor. I love it. And particularly that word claw-snagged, which perfectly demonstrates the power of creative language. You've claw-snagged a winner here!

Comment from Janet Foor
Creative and clever poem. The work of the poet portrayed by a stalking leopard is such an original way to look at our plight but very accurate. Wish I had a six left for this one.
Well done.
Blessings

Comment from estory
I thought this was an interesting way of portraying the creative process of writing poetry. Here you describe the poet as a predator, stalking the words, the images, the poem itself and plucking it out of the abstract imagination and into the concrete pages we can read. The short, staccato lines and rhythm seem to catch that rhythm of a cat padding along after a mouse as well. Everything seems coiled, ready to pounce. estory

Comment from GoWiSt
Interesting title and picture art choice--what seeming carnage in those churning waters.
Good rhymes.
Interesting metaphoric imagery with inner shepherd and a leopard stalking a rhyme and dressing a rhyme up with an image.
Sometimes it's dfficult to catch that right prey (rhyme). :-)

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is fun and original, Madeleine! I really enjoyed the personality you've injected here and the imagery used writing your verse (the leopard stalking the rhyme - delightful, I know your feeling!). If you're doing free verse, don't worry about the syllable count although it helps to keep your stanzas fairly regular I think. You've done that with humour and inventiveness. No need to put the date in the box either. Well done! Debbie
