The Last Nittany Lion

Wandering alone

atop Mount Nittany

his claws long retracted

his teeth filed down



The last of his breed

once reigning so proudly

his lair far distant

no food to be found



Strange noises he hears

far off to the West

in the canyon of beavers

a struggle beset



He knows that this Winter

most likely his last

the future reclaiming

-a glorious past



(Lemont Pennsylvania: November, 2023)
