Paula Goldsmith Poet Rhyme

If You Were An Animal. What Animal Would You Be? 

Of all the animals I could be,
which one would fill me with glee?
No fur here with a flea,
maybe smooth skin is the key.
I would love to see,
the great big blue sea.
 
Cool pretty water I would love to feel,
it makes me want to real.
With friends I can play and squeal,
as a fish we will steal.
I feel like a big wheel,
even through I am just a cute little seal.

Joseph P. DiMino July 14, 2026 at 8:08 AM They are adorable. Your poem is adorable. Thank you for sharing. Did you get the wind and rain last night? We were on the tip of it in Phoenix, where I am, but north, your way, looked far worse? Joseph P. DiMino July 14, 2026 at 7:07 PM An eagle or vulture; both magnificent flyers -- the vulture probably more useful. Though the eagle looks better. Need more time to think.
