Red

by tempeste

Autumn leaves flutter
Flutter like butterfly wings
Wings set course to warmer lands
Lands, home to the mighty king

King of boundless plains
Plains teeming with wildlife
Wildlife, an going source of food
Food for sharp claws that slice

Slice and tear, jaws stained red
Red ochre painted on native skin
Skin of a leopard adorns a floor
Floor of a hunter, his latest win
