Write within this,
Create a litany

Incessant exciter
Never-ending duller

The Amazon

Silky water thunders down hundreds of feet

The Sun reflecting brightly

Casting a rainbow

Lighting up the day

A crimson flower

Atop the waterfall

Droplets of water dripping

Creating a miniature Niagara Falls

The sound of water dripping

from this palm - sized sunset

Casts a lullaby

On the fuzzy bear lying in its shade

Dreams of a plethora of McDonalds burgers

Without the bread

Claws digging in

The plentiful meat

Filled with happiness and content

The bear does not stir or disturb

The picnic

Sure to fill an animal

With a lack of dismay

Laid out a few feet away

With clusters of apples

And an assortment of mangoes

All the way from New Jersey

To the Amazon

Lioness Sea

Lioness Sea
The sea is a caring lioness
Devouring defenseless lives
Frighting away other beasts
With its all might roar
If it dares to enter the prides territory


The sea can create
a terrifying roar
scattering those who are near
sending them fleeing to far
to save their precious lives


The sea is a hunter
Stalking up from behind
All seeming innocent
But that isn't to be


The sea is a carnivore
Ripping the flesh
of the unknowing victim
Letting it pride
Survive and thrive

Animotos
