Loris Is Slow But Do Not Pity Him

Loris is slow but no one messes with or teases him. His elbows are poisonous And he has the most vicious teeth Which he is not afraid of breaking on your skin. Loris is offered the luxury of moving at his own pace, understanding that he will be left alone, and gladly travels past many who fear him, loving his power. Holding them at bay with mere fear.

This is the most scary first "free verse" I've read! Loris is to be respected for sure. I wonder if everyone clearly notices his dangerousness. He carries it so well. hmmmmm... reminds me of someone I know in a way. I am new to poetry and I had no idea of its' many forms until I joined the soup. A memorable first impression for sure!

Thank you so much. I love to "play with words", and "play with paint" and "play with cartooning". I am a player for sure. Play and have fun Niynache. This is your tribe for sure.

Loris is a little animal that looks like a cute, small cuddly gray monkey with jewels for eyes.

I would totally try to hug him, because I would forget and he looks cuddly and cute. That is the problem.
