Animals imprisoned
in city zoos
with smatterings of green
to disguise their view
yet those so tall
see the reality
as the vision in grey
perpetuates their travesty.

Tense
with anticipation
beneath black and white
diffused against
a distant horizon
dazzle escape
in confusion of stripes
stretching out
a deceptive environ.

In camouflaged stripes
a roar was heard
the jungle seized
by an onslaught
of gnashing teeth
from a tiger’s wrath
as animals heaved
in a roulette dash.

Winter chill
offers little respite
something in the air
makes the forest come to life
nocturnal animals
transform the night
while the moon sings
in shadows bright
her soothing lullaby
soon reunites
us all with our
ancestors dreams.

Proud hunter
and loyal friend
a spiritual pathfinder
who teaches well
is strongly intuitive
blooms with self confidence
smart and autonomous
with efficient intelligence
a unique soul so wild and free
yet socially swayed
and can look at the ordinary
in an extraordinary way!

Big bad wolf
dressed rather fine
strings us along
with words so sly
but one little girl
did catch his lie
in a timeless tale
he could not deny.
