I Wonder

i wonder when the vultures feast,
do they hope for their next meal?

i wonder when lions feed on
what their harem provide,
do they feel proud,or just loved?

i wonder when frogs
gave up swimming
and try leaping for better ponds:
do they look inside the water
to see their new green skin?

i wonder what we have
that animals don't.
we have nothing,friends,
nothing new.
we have old things in new images,
and communicated in such a way
we forget the ways silence connect.

At times, it does wonders to actually wonder about the other creatures, from their perspective. I think we will learn a lot from them. A thought-provoking write. Mr. Hsu. I especially liked the one about the frogs... thanks for passing by my non-poem. That was just me, thinking aloud. Wondering the cause of the spike in my views. I just found it super odd, that's all. And I see some other Soupers have had the same experience, so maybe it is a glitch?

Thank you and hi there :) I read some of your poems and really like some of the images you used. I have not had that happened to me but sometimes the site hangs me when i am scrolling down poems. Maybe you can write a poem about the glitch :)
