Premium MemberManimals

I went to the zoo for the animals to see

But the one true animal at the zoo was me

Cold, cunning, and feral, so what else could I be

Cuz one never falls far from one's own family tree


Premium MemberHere now this morn

Surrounded by animals in human form,
we accept there could be learning in this, 
that as with God’s laws we choose to conform,
in any environ we’re charged with bliss,
as grace bestowed by Divine Mother’s kiss.
We pen these small notes as contemplation,
whilst we’re poised in all time meditation.

Premium MemberIf You Were An Animal. What Animal Would You Be? 

Of all the animals I could be, which one would fill me with glee? No fur here with a flea, maybe smooth skin is the key. I would love to see, the great big blue sea.  
Cool pretty water I would love to feel, it makes me want to real. With friends I can play and squeal, as a fish we will steal. I feel like a big wheel, even through I am just a cute little seal.

Premium Memberelephant with pizzaz puts on a show

Elephant with pizzaz knew he was all that day after day
So glitzy that notorious drag queens had turned him away
He wanted to be in a show of some kind, so he was
It was shut down quickly by the jealous, the coppers, the fuzz

Elephant decided to rent his own meadow and have a sing
The other animals brought their lawn chairs to hear his ting-a-ling
He gave them a show like no other performer could ever have done
They came back and paid him money, because they had so much fun!

Premium MemberGOODNIGHT CREATION--

Good night has fallen on day The moon and stars have fallen prey Clouds endorse have gathered in suede Humanity and animals have gone to sleep Spiritual vessels have fallen on their knees Acknowledging Elohim in prayer...

Premium Memberwho is holding these animals up

who is holding these animals up? Someone asked me.
we were at a six-ring circus, but too far away to see.
The elephant was on the top, which looked rather odd.
heavy hippo holding him gave me a rare nod.

I nodded back and caught a weird ugly smile
From the next joker down, a grisly green crocodile.
Under him was a spoon-billed pelican with beady black eyes.
A super mouse was holding them all up, a huge surprise!

Premium MemberOverdressing for Christmas Eve

my animals overdressed for Christmas Eve
the bat wore mistletoe on his left sleeve
cat and giraffe dressed like Santa that day
Reindeer kept running around hauling a red sleigh

tabby brought peppermint and was dressed in holly
giraffe wore blinking bubble lights that were overly jolly
flamingo was ridiculous, dressed like a drag-queen elf
crow had never looked more unlike herself

zebra and penguin came in wearing a fake carrot nose
they brought in tinsel, frost, and a wheelbarrow of snows
I was frustrated that they had all gone overboard again.
Luckily I was the only one with a white beard on my chin.

Premium MemberMother Nature's Football Game

I heard Mother Nature say,
"Let's play football today".
Plants versus animals - the teams were picked. 
Would the flora all be licked?
The thunder and lightning of the crowd
cheered them on, sounding loud. 
While the fauna moved the ball, 
barking out every call,
the flora didn't make a sound...
yet they held their ground. 
Unnoticed, there among us, 
stood the unseen fungus.

Premium MemberThe Beast as a witness

The Beast as a witness
Even the camel saw the rot in you,
A beast who knew your spirit was unkind;
He struck you down as any witness would,
Leaving your hollow threats and pride behind.
You were a man who lived to wound and scar,
Who spent your years as shadow and as thorn;
But your worst work, the deepest, darkest cut,
Was when you left me, disowned and forlorn.
For even the beast had the insight to see,
The monster you hid while you haunted me
"If even a beast knew your soul was a shell,
We leave you to rot in the furnace of hell."

Premium MemberTribute to Jack O Lantern Totem

jack-o-lantern totem was quiet and good
staying on the porch like a totem should
oak tree guarded her through the night
enjoying her flickering candle light

other animals gathered around to gawk
a porcupine, squirrel, crow and large beaked hawk
jack-o-lantern totem shared her light with all
she was a marvelous asset to our porch that fall

Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE ALL THE WONDERS

I am grateful for my morning walks…
for all the wonders that I see…
and grateful for the person, the trees, the flowers,
the birds, the animals and the insects
who share this walk with me.

Premium MemberSeal

 Gray seals usually feed on herring and cod
 Squids and eels also get the nod
 But things have taken a disturbing spin
 Now they're chowing down on dolphins!

 This has scientists quite concerned
 As humans could be next on the menu 
Sometimes nature takes an unexpected turn
 As animals find new prey to chew

Watch out for sharks at sea
 For you may become its next meal
 If you see a dorsal fin, you will flee
 But don't end up in the jaws of the gray seal

Premium MemberSpring Break

Like the sun’s celestial smile
Beaming yellow happy rays
Across bubbly lovely clouds
Hear the children at play

Spring break is happening 
Animals seem to know
Even plants are laughing
Blooming in the wind a glow 

Spring has sprung a leak
Everyone seems so relieved 
For weary of the winter breeze
Forgetting Jack Frost’s freeze

Premium MemberA HUMANE SOCIETY

If our mission is a more humane society…
(something, one day, on which I hope we’re all agreed)
Then we should be protecting, caring and rescuing  
anyone in need.

We should be making a better world for everyone we meet
everyone we see…
Doing our best to end homelessness, misery,
 suffering and cruelty.

This is actually the mission of the Humane Society…
every day that’s what they strive to do…
but their mission is the humane treatment of animals…

It seems to me we need a humane society
who’s mission is the humane treatment of people…too.
