Fourth Place 

Feral Contest 

  1. by Anthony Slaushen 

Feral Flora Fauna


                  Vast wide meadow quiet and calm
                  cherishing feral grazers to thrive.
                   Peripheral jungle – album
                    Shows scenes of slaughter to survive.
                          
                  Jungle and meadow both feral.
                  Vast wide meadow quiet and calm.
                  Blooms on weed send wild scent floral.
                  Non-mowed meadow marvels in charm.
           
                   Grazers in herds to raise alarm.
                  Jungle always acting cruel.
                 Vast wide meadow quiet and calm.
                 Preys and predators staying parallel.
                 
                   Carnivores eating flesh for feast.
                  Wild jungle not in decorum.
                   Feral Nature with beauty-beast.
                   Vast wide meadow quiet and calm.

Madam Poet, i enjoyed this form and how you handled it. I am inspired to explore one myself. The picture comes alive ... Yes, Nature & fauna do keep guarders/sentries as they graze. Thank U. Anil Deo, saying NAMASTHE
