Poetic Menagerie
By GC
Beasties
Wildlife verse
cavorts
to the poet’s
command
Mirth
Laughter,
the monkey strophe,
carries on
delightfully
Fear
Shark words
thrash, bite, tear
at a reader’s
emotions
Anger
Anger, an alligator,
snaps and snarls,
blindly lashs out
rhyme
Sloth
Sloth, the enjambment snake,
lazes in the sun
coiled, waiting to capture
the perfect break word
Jungle
Verse entangled --
words, lines, strophes
like newborn lion kits --
struggles to open eyes and steady legs
