Are We

A menagerie, are we that, one of natures experiments, failing, vermilion, the colour of the blood of many of her animal species, infuse the planet earth, their blood, naturing all her flora, prevailing, mockingbirds, mock others, opinionated thoughts stress releases, the twilight, once never silent, now extant animals hearings ailing, Frangipani, its scented flowers perfumed thought increases, Luscious, opens human minds to pleasures, high sailing, Pellucid once were all thoughts on procreating their own species, Ancestral legends, stories, myths, told in waves so detailing, Ripples, all are now, life, natures experiment, so sadly failing.
