    This was a well researched topic. You even had the proper scientific name for the lion. The style was on par and it was very interesting. A well written nature poem.

    First I did enjoy the style and your imagery was decent enough to feel as if you, the reader, is an intruder on the lion's afternoon, in a good way honestly. it sets the reader up to feel as if they were there.

    I don't know much about lions but I think I heard that they, the cubs, don't stay with both parents. Again I could be wrong but it's a minor hting because if I am wrong then you have a beautiful interaction of baby cubs trying to mimic their father.

    For some reason I don't like the word a with hungry pride but that could just be me. Otherwise I liked the poem.

    I really liked this poem..it was visual and very discriptive for a short poem. Very nice use of words and its creates such a perfect little picture..Good job 5/5

    Hey i'm not an expert on these types of poems, but i'll comment anyway....
    i think it was really good, the idea and everything, but for some reason all the ideas dont seem to match up, at least in my mind... i think its the lines

    Searching for wildebeest
    To share with a hungry pride

    Cubs bound playfully around him
    Mimicking his success in the hunt

    and in between the first and second half of it, it may just be me, but the transition wasnt very clear... maybe making the transition a bit clearer(?) well, if i have completely got the wrong idea or it just isnt clicking in MY head, tthen sorry:) haha but yea... there ya go

    Beautiful job. You used this style in a graceful, smooth way.
    "wildebeest" Should be wild beast

    Keep it up

    Ooh, this was great hun. The descripitons were powerful and really added effect. The imagery was great and I could almost imagine the picture. It was just missing a little bit of detail for my liking, but I know it is hard when you have a rhyme scheme to follow. The flow was good as well. All in all, very nicely done! 5/5
