The Start

Awaking each day greatly awed to what's in store Birds that chirp and sing at my back door Clouds that constantly change from whispy, gray Dart or stay cover the sky or float away Every created natural item brings changes each day For our hearts to enjoy and make our spirits play Geese that migrate mark the way to watch for Spring Happy the day that they fly by to us bring Interesting colors shades of green dappled by sun Just placed in the sky angled right for everyone Kangaroos jump and bounce carry their young roos Lovingly in their container of safety a pouch snooz Monkeys that dominate the trees eating fruit and love Nibling all day on the tasty provisions from above Octopi that swim in the sea, black ink they spray Protection screen from their enemies who prey Quail a bird that mates for life Respect for his love that does suffice The finish Slow snail sliding across the plant leaf Tongue gripping, teeth chewing every piece Until I understood your life I didn't like Virtually anything about you especially the bite With those teeth destroying my plants Xanthic shell with brown so like a seashell enhanced Yak of Tibet so like a cow but very different Zebra your difference from a horse or donkey no accident

Sara, a syllabic freeverse style is one that uses 'odd' number of syllables ie 7.9,11 so that it avoids the iamb metre.Rgds Brian & thanks for your welcome comments.

This had some real cute lines in it, Sara! What a challenge those ABC poems! As for my movie choice, it truly has got to be at the top of my list for best made movies of 2009. But I know it will get beat out by either Hurt Locker or Avatar! LUv, andrea
