With the election results pouring in, I almost forgot to prepare this week’s Wicked Word Wednesday. But never fear, I am here!
I am involved in the land of a leonine and brave people . . .
Alexander the Great

I always thought we would stay together. I got scared and ripped the Band-aid off quick. I love how you talk to me, the leonine way your taut muscles ripple on your back, the short hairs on the nape of your neck.

From the Old French word leonin ,
or from the Classical Latin leoninus,
regardless of it’s beginning
you, dear man, are its end
with your hair so long and gold
muscles rippling, growl emitting,
you are a lion among men.
