Once again it’s time to crown Wicked Word Wednesday Winner.

I said when I posted this challenge that it might not be the best word choice. Perhaps the randomizer I use to pick the challenges knew something I didn’t, what with the rise of the Great Orange Leader (whose only resemblance to a lion is in color). Anyway, our Wicked Word was leonine.

leonine [\ˈlē-ə-ˌnīn\]

le·o·nine

adjective

of, relating to, suggestive of, or resembling a lion

 

And now, the winners!

In Second Place . . .

Suze

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.

And in First Place . . .

Pleasant Street

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.
