My Poem And Other Animals

aye-ayes, dik-diks, wobbegongs
chicken turtles, loons
shoebills, snipes and yeti crabs
and cozumel raccoons.

mata matas, sugar gliders
shoats and water voles
venezuelan poodle moths
grunts and star-nosed moles.

spanish dancers, flying foxes
bobbit worms and mink
fried egg jellyfish, sea pigs 
frilled sharks and blue-tongued skink.

pleasing fungus beetles, thrips
hellbenders, great potoos
lilac breasted rollers, bongos
glass frogs, kinkajous.

pink fairy armadillos, bilbys
52-hertz whales
the red-lipped batfish, panda ants 
and emperor helmet snails.

rare long-wattled umbrellabirds
chubs and munchkin cats
satanic leaf-tailed geckos, 
shads, gars, nits and fancy rats.

Sam Kauffman Date: 7/25/2024 11:28:00 AM What fun, Gary! Love seeing your whimsical side! You did a lot of research to find all of these creatures. Impressive. And I love the end rhymes. Adds to the fun. If this is for a contest, best wishes. And now that I have read your list, will be on the look out for new sightings of bugs, birds and critters! Blessings and cheers!
Paula Goldsmith Date: 7/24/2024 7:51:00 AM I enjoyed reading your fun/creative List write. Have a fun day writing away...............
Hilda Greenhough Date: 7/22/2024 11:18:00 PM This is a joyous poem of often overlooked fauna. I salute your workmanship.
Ink Empress Date: 7/21/2024 7:21:00 AM This is a very creative list poem, i love the word pairings throughout dear gary. Especially “ star nosed moles” thats new and unique and also “sea pigs” now i wonder if there are sea pigs. Never know. Theres so many creatures in the sea. And as an islander that caught my attention. “Umbrellabirds” that sounds beautiful too! Brilliant and very clever write! Pleasure reading this. Sending you light
Charlotte Puddifoot Date: 7/21/2024 6:46:00 AM ooh a list poem, a bit like the one you did with place names, i take it these are all real creatures' names? i'll look forward to you adding more...
Tom Woody Date: 7/21/2024 5:40:00 AM I don't know if any rat could ever be fancy but I suppose they have their fans too. I can see why this poem would have legs. Only 10,253 species to go...
Di11y Da11y Date: 7/21/2024 4:17:00 AM It just shows how your brain can take chaos and create order! I'd not have the first clue to make those animal names fit into rhythm with cadence and also feel like a message (in my head I felt it was like a list akin to the song 'my favourite things' talking about wonderful things in the world to appreciate). A marvellous feat Gary - it's times like this we miss Brian's contests!
