Poem
When I went back home for longer vacation Surprised to see our backyard turning out to be a mini-zoo My younger brother had adopted lots of pets Winged, furry, reptiles… I couldn’t name the rest I was spurred to tour around , it was so fun I saw seven cows, five goats, grazing in our farm Geese, ducks, turkeys and various breeds of chicken My mother was there, happily feeding them There was even a big brown snake in an iron cage I trembled, I didn’t even glance or gaze I liked the yellow and black birds, Kiaos and Martines They were learning to talk, one partly warbled, Fur Elise Among his pets, furry ones got my full attention Dino, the monkey was tending cows with our four dogs Holding cow’s ropes, they came to me in wagging tails Then afar, I saw Panny Bat, our bird’s fruit supplier Dino, Doggies Pandak, Poom, Pashang and Pampu Were amazing caretaker- pets in our farm’s mini-zoo Farm heroes, we named them including Panny Who went out at night then returned to her cage the next day I’ve tamed and befriended with these farm heroes I rewarded Dino some lollipops, our four dogs with foods Panny Bat, 'though untouchable was so cute Her face absolutely resembled with our four dogs When I’ve heard the loss of the three farm heroes last year Died of ailments were Doggy Pandak, Poom and Dino Gear And after a month, Panny Bat suddenly disappeared Members of our family, including myself grieved March 6, 2016 10.20pm -This poem was also written for my younger brother who, until now have these pets at home. His small fishpond was not included in the poem. The Kiaos and Martins (look like mynahs) were 5-7 I think. My mom taught them to sing Fur Elise, Do A Deer etc… Fourth Place Contest: Furry Friend Judged: 5/6/2016 Sponsor: Poet Royal
