I love Panda bears and have quiet a collection of different stuffed and ceramic bears. My daughter and I split a $500 bingo pot last Saturday night. Thanks for the input on the poem and congrats on Randy. They are two of my favorites. Have you read Crossroads or the Yellow? Let me know what you think. I really like your flow and rhyme too. Ellen

What a beautiful line bearing the heart touching agonies of this very beautiful lovely creature. I really love Koala. What more the Greenhouse gases would effect disturbing the Nature to the extent I too have tried to sketch in my Poem 'Wake up O' but you have sketched everything and more in three words. This is really excellent. love Ravindra

Is the bear tearing down the tree (V)..koala is a description of the bear the type of bear ..adjective..as is Eucalyptus a type of tree (Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence.) Greenhouse as you use it is a discription of the effect..which is a noun..LOL..NO worries I don't think I did it either! HUGS
