The wild

By Romilly

You are striped tiger roaming

the forest like the king of the

world.

 

You are a salmon colored

snake sliding down a winter

crisp field.

 

you are barn owl brown and

gold gliding through the winter

moonlight gracefully.

 

You are a cheetah roaring through

the savannah, heart pounding at every

step.

 

You are a bright parrot, feathers like

A rainbow shining on a sunny summers

Day

 

 

You are a Venus fly trap waiting patiently

For even the slightest of movement before

SNAP catching its pray in a split second.

 

You are a blue whale gliding smoothly

Through the shining water singing out

To other wales.

 

You are a starfish lying flat as a sheet of

Paper on a warm jagged rock planted near

The shoreline.

 

You are a sloth sleepily lying in a shaded

Tree, fur blowing gently in the Australian

Wind.

 

You are the impossibility of wooly mammoths

And megalodons living back on earth once again.

 

You are the wild.

    I love the description of the parrot being like a rainbow on a summer’s day! Lovely imagery!

  2. Fabulous work Romilly, I like your starfish lying as flat as a piece of paper!

  3. Dear Rom,

    I am so impressed by your poem and how you have brought all of these glorious creatures to life with this powerful use of imagery.

    Very well done!

    Mrs. H
