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?

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

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.
