Best Zebra Poems

I want to ride a zebra

   and race the rays of radiance
       through heat-waves’ sailing gradients -

     a folly wild - a mood untamed
   elated hands in bristled mane
unbridled veins uncorked...

Allow altruistic artistry among ailing american adversaries.
Bartering begins before begging beasts break brothers.
Capture calamity controlling catastrophe calming castration.
Dedicate decisions directed down dreary deaf disillusionment.
Eradicate equality earning efficient energetic epiphany.
Follow fallen foreigners forgetting faithful flight from fluid folly.
Gasping greatness growing grapes given golden goodness.
Halt hollow hearts...

The Fashion Zebra

I am a flake. 
That is the term for people that do not follow through. 
It may not be fair. I have spent my whole life avoiding the title. 
I crossed every tee, dotted all the eyes… 
and followed rules real, and make...

Poor little Zena zebra was feeling oh so sad
She was born an albino, which made her look bad

Zena desperately wanted to fit in with the others
And have a stripy body like her sisters and brothers

Zena thought hard and came up with a cunning plan
She would...

My father is black,
my mother is white
These be the birthright
of my stripes
I'm despised by blacks,
I'm hated by whites
All because of my zebra stripes
I live in both worlds,
but is accepted by neither
I'm an outcast,
a rejected soul
I am a zebra,
a most rare creature
For most of my life,
I've...

One by one
          We follow each other 
Come humps and bumps in life
          We jump them all
Sometimes with slips and falls
Sometimes we are stranded
Sometimes we are waiting...

The zebra:
An optical illusion
That tricks your sight,
Not colour, not HD ready,
But just in black and white.

An African sales success,
Of great pride it’s the source,
Cleverly marketed as …
A bar-coded horse....

The hot savannah in late September 
Too far back to quite remember
Born in plains surrounded by the sands
An oasis of the treeless woodlands
To be uniquely chic I always tried
Yet it never showed on my solid hide 

One day hiding from cheetahs in tall grass
With my...

Running across the plains as lions give chase
  The zebra stands out, its stripes won't erase
 Surviving is key, it's a daily fight
  It's all laid out in black and white
 The zebra comes to a river, now it must cross

The dreams are the ones who enjoy our lives
So jump of the cliff and denounce your ride
Never look back, for single fly
Or to the unpredictable sky

Don’t let the thunder announce your demur  
Shine to the future on your dry hands
Color your zebra stripes
Dace to...

They can be seen through the bars and behind the glass
Some have fancy patterns and others with stripes
They run and hide so they can’t be seen
If you get too close they can get real mean
But they are irresistible, like a magnet to steel
So the people...

"The Day The Zebra Met The Panda"


It was 
inevitable, 
that one day,
these two would meet!
They shared something
so deep in common,
it was as solid 
as concrete!

Said the Zebra 
to the Panda,
"Do you wonder 
why this way 
we are?"
Replied the Panda 
to the Zebra,
"Once I too 
thought...

A zebra looked in the mirror one day

His stripes were fading from black to green

His eyes looked sallow and his stomach upset

Like when he ate too much candy on Halloween


He took some brown paint and covered his green stripes

Remembering the color wheel from third grade...
