For the contest "Animals"

by Constance :La France

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" by Anatole France Animals: all the various kinds every shape or color I'd choose I'd love them all, not one left behind in my longed-for garden's earthy hues And, for each one, a home with nice views. In my garden, two squirrels you'd find for each needs a friend that looks the same. Cows, lookiing so sweet, you know they're kind and, of course, only those that are tame Thus, no lioness with tousled mane. Rock Island hens, and the birds in flight a chorus of songs from those that sing, Bunnies, puppies, kittens, black or white. To all creatures, this wish I would bring a warm home, safe far from winter's sting.
