Premium Member OKAPI'S DILEMMA

Okapi thought he was a horse
Attempted to blend in, of course
Zebras kicked him out
Horses ran about
But okapi had no remorse

Mimic

black horse mimics
zebra's every move
Can they outrun the sun?

Premium Member Kenya Is Center of the World

no sun like an African sun
her waters turn a pinkish red
are those zebras or unicorns?
nothing surprises me here
Kenya is a magical place
center of the world

Premium Member swimming to the grasslands

We are now swimming up the Boteti River, we twenty-three
To get to grasslands and savannah woodlands, you see
swimming is fun, sang the zebras, and the eating is free

Premium Member zebras and giraffes are pals

Zebras and giraffes are pals with wows!
Like pygmy goats and milking cows
If predators are close, giraffes sound the alarm
Zebras run with their herd to avoid death or harm

Premium Member Zebras of the Wild

stripes snaking through verdent grasses
we follow along in a helicopter
appreciating that natives are free
like wild mustangs, enjoying their full power
not locked in zoos, separated by bars

Premium Member Abc, Follow Me

A badly crazed, disgustingly earnest feline
grossly, haughtily, ignorantly judges kangaroos,
losing many niggling oppressed pumas
quietly reserving skunks to understand
very wayward x-rays, you Zebras.

Zebras

Zebras full of Zest and Zeal
Exquisite Stripes Dancing Happily
Black and White, Black and White
Running wildly as it turns into prey
Africa's Amazing Animal!
Form: Acrostic

The Lion's Claws

A crowd of 
White aspen
Performs the 
Sacred moon dance, but
They cling together
Like a herd of 
Wild zebras, on
The Serengeti Plain
Their leaves 
Resonate from 
The sweet scent of
The lion’s claws

Zany Zoo Adventure

Apes bounce crazily,
Daring elephants frolic,
Giraffes hilariously interact,
Juggling kangaroos leap,
Monkeys noisily orchestrate,
Penguins quietly race,
Snakes twirl under vines,
Wolves xerox yaks,
Zebras zigzag.

Leopard Kills Xena

Although, being cautious during explorations,
     forests generally host intrinsic jeopardy.
Killer leopards mutilate not only people, quickly.
Readily, saving them until voracity wants: Xena; Yaks; Zebras.

whirlwind of spectacular sounds
elephants tromping through, ears flowing
continent made of diverse dialects
zebras striping the horizon with color
countries with their own flavors
Africa God's own quintessential tapestry

Aggressive, brave, confident
distinguished emperor
fighting groveling hyenas
intimidating jackals
killing large mammals

Warning This Is Epic

ZEUSE WENT TO THE ZOO TO SEE ZEBRAS

I CAN GO THERE AND SO CAN YOU
ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO  CAN GO TO THE ZOO
WE CAN ALL WATCH THE ANIMALS LIVING BY INSTINCT
BUT DON'T DELAY, BECAUSE SOON A LOT OF THOSE SPECIES WILL BE EXTINCT

Shoop

Looking at the sheep
but there was only one
saw a murder
but then they flew away
each lion makes me proud
prickled all the porcupines
in the caravan they all had humps
basking with a crocodile smile
and with zeal the zebras chuckle
at the parrots pandemonium

Premium Member Understanding zebra stripes

is impossible!

I can’t count stripes
when the zebras won’t hold still!

The middle finger of God
is mocking me!

If you run away,
I can’t work
for National Geographic
or learn a damn thing
in this life
of purified conscience, 
filtered concepts, 
and dirty 
magazines

Toys

I like cars, trucks,
and shiny airplanes.
I like helicopters, buses,
and locomotive trains.

I like lions, zebras,
and elephants too!
I like rhinos, hippos,
and giraffes are cool.

I like guitars, drums, 
and all my toys!
I love playing and pretending,
like most little boys!

A Painkiller For My Friend

Sunny and funny. Do they go together? Maybe. 
Zebras, as you know, do not wear z bras. Monkeys DO NOT 
love bananas. Unicorns can have 2 horns, and dagons can breath
ice. So why be sad? SO much to do, So much to be. So many people to 
cheer up. So give them a koala, for everyone loves them. 
Beware, THEY DO LOVE TO WEAR UNDERWEAR.

Landscape:Valley

Valley so wide 
Orange and Black
Valley so big makes you feel small
Happiness in the valley full of delight
Valley full of blue rabbits and birds so high up

Valley in where trees grow
Where the zebras through and fro
The valley where all my sorrow goes away

There Is a Lion Sleeping In My Shed

There is a lion sleeping in my shed
I dread to think what it's dreaming of
I hope it's not me but my friend Ed
There is more of him to be chewed on

See there aren't many Zebras round these parts
That graze in my garden or near by parks
Next door have a chiwawa that never shuts up
A tasty snack when he wakes up

But for now I'll just let him sleep
