Notes About The Poem

I Wish That I Was

I wish that I was a koala bear
Napping in eucalyptus-scented air
In trees, safe from attack
No dingoes get to snack
Oh, to have my avatar's cuteness flair!

Hear ye! Hear ye! Poetic license wins out over trifling technicalities every time! And had this not been a winner, it would have been truly unBEARable. Congrats, Michelle! :) gw

It's a "like" for me, that's for sure (even if a koala is not technically a bear...Who cares, anyway---You've got poetic license!). Keep smiling! :) gw
