Jan Allison Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

Wild Animal Personification Contest: Sponsored by Shadow Hamilton 10/17/23

Calmer Chameleon

Please don’t think that I can’t see you
As I’ve got the most incredible eyes
Which move independently from each other
Although I’m known as a master of disguise!

I reside with my family in Madagascar
In rain forests where I live up a tree
I can change colour when I want to  
So I’ll blend so you may not see me!

I adore eating lots of tasty insects
I catch them when I shoot out my tongue
It can project twice the length of my body
I’m very proud of my proboscis so long!

I am very adept at tree climbing
My prehensile tail acts as a fifth limb
I’m so lucky to live high up in the trees 
My forest habitat is my very own gym!
