Scruffy – searcher
Scruffy – Searcher
Armadillo ,armadillo ,
Why do your ears look like little leaves
waving at each other?
Armadillo, Armadillo,
Does your shell count as a bullet proof armour
rejecting the bullets
that fly of your Cloak?
Armadillo,Armadillo,
Is your tail like
Miniature ice – cream cones
stacked within
each other like teeth on gears?
Armed tank, Armed tank,
Why do your
rough scales look like chips of copper
or coul ?
Sand – walker, Sand- walker,
When did your hands and feet
Look like a deinonychus`
Foot print printed into
The soft sand?
Armadillo, Armadillo,
How are your little eyes
Like a wormhole into
A endless space that no
one knows of?
About the poem “Scruffy – Searcher”:
Something I like about this poem: “Why do your ears look like little leaves waving at each other?” – This line is a great description of the armadillo’s unique appearance.
Something that could be improved: The poem could benefit from some rhyming to make it sound more musical. But be careful, forcing rhymes doesn’t always work
Question for the author: What inspired you to write about armadillos in particular? What do you think makes them interesting to write about? And congratulations for getting Deinonychus into a poem!
I love the name! What is an Armadillo? How do you come up with such creative questions! Keep up the good work! (:
