Menagerie Poems - Poems about Menagerie

Premium Member The Glass Menagerie
Witness our depravity To creatures big and small Locked up in captivity To entertain us all When hunted down and staged In jungles where they roam Then quickly bound and caged And taken from their home No longer wild and free They lose their sense of pride With days of misery They slowly die inside As they accept their fate We revel in...

Premium Member Bookish Menagerie: A Time Traveler's Library
Toddlers' Exploration: Cardboard drum and a thunderous beast With playful roars in tiny fists and feasts. Fleeting wings glide to dreams just out of reach Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks. Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump. Flaps flapping, bright colors peek "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," what do you seek? Mama's voice is a gentle hum Sleepy fireflies as bedtime comes. "Will...

A Troth of Clouds David J Walker That’s the thing about a drought Clinging to any hint that things are about to change That clouds will rearrange their Formations of the fanciful floating menagerie of imagination into an apologue of Storm Clouds or long soaking gentle rains (I try but fail to remember the smell Of moisture mixed with earthy dirt The textures...

Slaphappy monkeys swinging from trees to trees Cartwheeling giraffes heads nodding in the breeze Burly sea lions chasing sperm whales in the seas A menagerie of animals dancing as they please Bushmen collecting emporium honey bees, Whistling cardinals chasing pretty chickadees, Creatures playing pinnacle, cards upon their knees Greedy gorillas wondering if their life’s carefree....

Oh, menagerie, like the song of the Mockingbirds, forever changing ripples in pellucid water. My heart beats, chained and caged, yet as wild as your beasts, unable to escape this emotional circus, you the Ring Master and I your sad clown. As vermilion drops infuse the myriad of ache within my throbbing tumultuous breast, my luscious ancestral desire for you weeps fragrant petals...

Menagerie Memories
As I opened the velvet box I was suddenly flooded with a wealth of memories... The smells, the sights, the sounds of a happy childhood almost forgotten... Tiny rings that used to fit tiny fingers Gleefully now fit a small princess Rembrance of a time when Hearts and flowers and unbridled abounded Carefree, gilded love, recounted Half of...

Moonlight Menagerie
[indulging in mystical dreams of faeries and nymphs] Bathed in the pale shafts of moonlight they float on silent wings, barely fluttering, soft as a whisper as they hover inside my room. Tiny gossamer nymphs snatching stray moonbeams, flirting, cavorting, crazily misbehaving - they glide and dance around my roses. They may exist only in my bare dream moonscape, mere creations lurking in cobwebs of the...
