Notes About The Poem

- Zebra -

~ Wrong investment - when animals die - warning bells are ringing ~
                                             quote by poet

                           Zebras are members of the horse family
                           Excellent hearing and eyesight
                           Black with white stripes or vice versa
                           Runs a mile as time flick a match
                           Always hope to be free in the wild

Interesting poem about zebras, Sunshine. Their stripe pattern is so unique. I wonder if a black horse mated with a white horse and some generations later a zebra was born. I like your quote, too! Congratulations!
