Born of fire
Raised to roar
Beware his ire
Or head for a door
Not always of a temper
This cat likes to purr
This kitty loves to be pampered
Of that you can be sure
His loyalty is legendary
Your friendship you know is held highly
And although to him work is imaginary
Make sure not to take this cat's passion lightly
For this cat is a king
With an ego to match
So be sure to keep looking
For Leos are a great catch

Flowed like a summer breeze
I am close to several Leos, so it was a delight to read your most accurate descriptions! This poem has a pleasant flow and a light, pleasant tone to match. It belongs in the temperament of July, much like a seldom summer breeze that cools the searing sun. I would enjoy this any time of year, but I'm glad you presented it in July. Welcome to AP, good luck in the contest!

Welcome to Allpoetry
Interesting, I am a Sagittarius but it is nice to see how the other signs are looked upon. Nice formatting and structure. The only area I would suggest working on the flow of is stanza three. The rhythm is a little forced and falters a little. Perhaps the lines are too long for the rhythm you were working on. These are only my suggestions so please take them as such.
Please include your option number in your author notes. I see the subject you posted in the author notes. But to maintain the rules its best to add the option number as well.
I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.
God Bless

As a Leo, I appreciate the good words.
I'm confused as I don't know if you know what form
to take. I thought you had the rhyme down pat and then it was all lost by line 8. The meter was not the very best. Keep the beat in your head and work with it at all times.This is my first attempt I'm very hesitant to submit this. I liked it and I think my remarks sound negative. Please take my comments with a grain of salt from a novice

thank you and don't worry about it ^^ i'm a little bit of an amateur myself so i'm not to sure what the different forms are, most of my writing is just that, writing, because i really enjoy doing it ^^ but i will take your words to heart and try to do better next time.

Welcome to Allpoetry
I am an Aquarius But my stepmom is a Leo, and this just about describes her to a T. Thank you so much for not forgoing meaning for the sake of rhyme; wasn't crazy about the door-bit at the beginning, but the rest was top-notch!
Well done & thanks for entering
