Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

A Penguin - That Would Be Me

Coming back into this world
being no human at all this time
and not able to talk even at all
just concentrate to waddle in rhyme

You've guessed it, I'd be a Penguin
and I would be the Emperor King
the royal one who reigns supreme
this would be majestic ever to bring

In the many mighty cold regions
all over the frozen globe
they are in the Antarctic
protect each other within their robe

They are so fond of their little ones
keeping them safe within their shell
so clever and intelligent they truly are
to be a Penguin is such an honour to tell!

( If I could come back as an animal then it would be my favourite Penguin, so that's what this piece is about).

I enjoyed your poem though. Have a great day:-) Alexis Gordon Mcconnell March 29, 2023 at 3:24 AM Thanks Alexis, Glad you liked how this was written and hope it helped you more about penguins.

Speaks Volumes March 28, 2023 at 7:24 PM Gordon you didn't need the explanation, your words rang loud and clear. A delight to read, I could see that tall impressive Emperor striding through the snow. Lovely poem Thank you. Gordon Mcconnell March 29, 2023 at 3:21 AM Thanks Wendy, Glad you found this to be a delight and indeed that talk Emporer would look so good. Blessings always,Gordon x

Ann Peck March 28, 2023 at 3:04 PM Hi Gordon! A very sweet poem you wrote! I watched a movie about penguins. They're very protective of each other and their babes. A penguin would be a fine animal to be, though I would suggest we all move to California. :) Gordon Mcconnell March 29, 2023 at 3:19 AM Thanks Ann, Glad you enjoyed this piece and found it a sweet piece. Well I suppose California would full is in the sun! Except the penguins may not like the sun! Blessings,Gordon Gordon Mcconnell March 29, 2023 at 3:13 AM
