Coffee or tea?

Fragmented frogs frolicking fruitlessly freeing flavoursome fairy freckles,
But what of the speckled hound in the bin?

The Conditions of Living

Stark organisations of my observations
Respond to beauty with pure elation 
Instead of chronic devastation

Children perhaps even envious!
Zippity was a young, playful giraffe,
His mother always...

A kangaroo in dungarees hops hopefully 
	To win first prize in the Favs contest hot
		On the heels of an enlightening glow worm

Surely life is no competition but the stage lights

I have a friend
His name is George
He is a giraffe as tall as my house

Walk for miles along the fields
He lets me ride him

Its majestic sound, being the first

There’s a Swahili adage that goes
‘Mshale ulioingia msituni haujapotea’
An arrow that has been cast (shot/strayed) into the forest is not lost

even to solidify air,
and learned to use it as a shield,
he grew stronger without a care.

Had the strangest dream last night.
Merlin appeared in a cloak of white.
Wielding no magic, he related how tragic,
That many couldn't stand and fight.
