Yet

Waking-up with bird chirps and meow of my pet Midst-summer heat I found the green carpet grass wet Diamond dust dew drops were seen so serenely set Gleaming! Glistening! Could these frail ones live long, yet? Isn't their very birth for them, here on earth, a threat? The morning sun wiped them clean as though drops of sweat The rose, waving in the gentle breeze, seems to bet A contest, with a plume looking like an aigrette, The little spider entwining these with his net Was pecked by a multi-colored hungry barbet Was the huge vulture that caught the little kinglet Ever feeling, for his rudeness, any regret...? Parrots and love birds in cages with no outlet Schools of fish in ponds and lakes caught in the dragnet Crabs and snails escaping the back-flowing wavelet Human beings roaming with the murder mindset No animal or bird I could see free of fret Each being seemed to enjoy the existence, yet...! 06 May 2023 Writing Challenge - 'Y 'Words - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France Rhymes Checked At: Rhyme Zone Syllables Checked At: How Many Syllables
