Long eye-lashes
painted face
a certain air betrays her race
her royal expression is not common place
strong, sleek-
she's a stately grace
holds herself regally
chest held high
dignified,
posture perfect royalty
absolutely feline
acute vision,
wisdom's eyes
when she curls herself small
she gently defies
preconceived ideas of where truth lies...
her agility and manner
reveal her family ties
swat, snarl, a gentle bite
playing with her prey is sheer delight
Her roots remain
there's no denying
this Egyptian Princess















smiles...this is fun...mine is a descendant of a mountain lion i am sure...she will let you pet her as long as it is her idea and she will let you know when she is done...ha...
