Fish out of water
I wonder who I’ll be when alone A salmon spent on Lagunitas creek A giving tree robbed of it nuts A sunset rooster with no eggs When your chick has flown the nest Even if for a summer vacation Who’ll give you meaning when life is fallow?

Premium Member The Bear Necessities
Two hungry bears are poised to fight Razor sharp claws, like daggers drawn One stole a fish, theft is not right Two hungry bears They’d stalked brown trout since early dawn They’re ravenous, and that’s their plight Last trout had swum upstream to spawn A tasty trout bears love to bite But now all the fresh fish have gone No wonder both are so...
