Animal Love

At Sea World whales kissed

     Animal love, what a twist

          Is there something most humans missed?

We are the only mammals who kill

     Simply for the thrill

          Is mankind short on good will?

Gwendolen Song Date: 8/17/2011 5:14:00 PM Whales are of superior intelligence, right? We must take a hint from the largest mammals around. I love the rhyming you used in this poem. It is fun and energizing. A gentleman who helped me repair my computer yesterday lives in the Redneck Riviera too. I didn't actually think it was a real place from reading your poem. :) Cool! Congrats on the win. Hope the play is going well too! Gwendolen Login to Reply

James Foulk Date: 8/17/2011 1:20:00 PM you know man is not the brightest thing in the world, we could learn a lot from the Animals around us. this will go in my favorites, a great write. thank you for commenting on Little Cindy, yes this happend around 1954 or 1955, but i remember it like it was yesterday. it was the only beagle we ever had, she was a pure bread that my brother had bought from our Uncle Jim who i was named after. while we lived in Grinnell Iowa.
