Notes About The Poem

Life Is a Zoo

I am scared to take my kids to the zoo
          The bear in me knows well
      For they're like Lil cubs through and through
                   They need a shell  

The zoo can be such a wandering vine
          It roots in such a way
      I have to bare and draw the line
                    Here's what I say

I've read news of kids being mauled and killed
          By rouge animals spun
      A few bad apples spilled and spilled
                    Some lives were done

I can't take that one-in-a-million chance
           My rascals to this day
      I have to take this mother's stance
                    They don't fall prey

Sara Kendrick January 18, 2023 at 12:55 PM Creative way to go with this challenge. Congratulations on your winner. I have read or heard about those times, and it is scary to think about something like that happening to a child or adult. Sara. Connie Pachecho January 25, 2023 at 10:54 AM Thank You!
