Winter, spring, summer and fall
are my favorite season.
I am a raven. I steal because I need.
My family make no excuses
for our actions we live
how we live and we let
others know we’re alive.

The wolf, he cries,
ever so sadly.
to the moon, his snout lifted,
his heart grieving gladly.
to touch his lost love,
to hold her once more.
to kiss her white face,
through the clouds would he soar.
he begs for her touch,
howling her name.
but he kn... animal poems
Softly feathered for silent flight,
Moving about in the calm moonlight.
We cannot hear them unless they call,
Who cooks for you? Who cooks for y’all?
A soft call is carried away by the wind,
Hoo, hoo-hoo, over and over again.
A flash of white ... animal poems
A Mountain Lion
Paces back and forth
In the dark confines
Of the County Zoo
He sees people poke
Their faces at him
Creeping and reaching
Staring and staring
The same scenery
Over and over
He\'s restlesss and nervous
He needs a change
He\'s captive

The coyote came again today,
nearer this time, bolder,
hunting among soft mounds of dirt
where branches of our river birch
intrude upon the view from my window
his coat the color of lichens,
of clay, of curled madrone bark
and decaying leaves blended... animal poems
Giraffe, zarafa, beautiful one.
Fawn and brown marble, kissed by the sun.
A long lick of neck, nibbling on high
Staring at me with your brown bulbous eye.
Hoof-dung air nostrilling all around you
Says that it\'s safe in your home/prison/zoo.

As the night falls
We arise
I greet the normal-ranked wolves like me
With a friendly wag
I must bow in submission to the alpha male and female
Or else they will bite me
I growl at the lowest-ranked wolf, who submits to me
I just glance at the four pu... animal poems
On a sunny day, I sat on my porch swing
And watched a cool fresh summer rain
Everything then seem to come so alive
Birds flew to birdbaths to take a dive
My horse started galloping with glee
Putting on a show to entertain me
The donkey, he was hee-ha... animal poems
The faster the cheetah flies,
The faster his poor prey dies.
The hungrier the cheetah gets,
The longer his prey frets.
He happens to be real smart,
He always plays a part,
In keeping the population down,
He sometimes eats something brown.
He sometime... animal poems
Mane and tail of wild briar,
Coat of dandelion fluff.
Eyes of liquid amber,
Hooves of wind and dust.
Born from wild earth,
Untamed and free.
Nostrils flared, tails to the air,
Like rolling thunder they flee.

She has grace like no other.
Those mysterious, blue tiger-eyes of hers pounce as you look at her glistening glimmer.
Her face, sweet as honey, pure like apple blossoms,
Confidence through her veins giving her a warrior-like complexion that rises like... animal poems
Flying over towering trees,
and breathtaking mountains,
over mist caped hills,
And water fountains,
Over creature\'s homes,
And lakes and rivers,
Over chilly woods,
That make you shiver,
Over the buffalo heard,
With thundering hoofs,
And the young ... animal poems
The Hunted?
Lo, the wind blows soft and free,
Gently whistling through the trees.
The sky is dark, the stars are out,
A full moon casting shadows about.
The fresh, new snow lay crisp on the ground,
There is no movement, not a sound.
Yonder stands ... animal poems
Very time I go outside, I enter a world of beauty.
The bees, the trees, the flowers, everything counts to me as beauty.
Beauty is not just saying how someone or something looks,
But it shows how Mother Nature has really worked to bring her living cre... animal poems
I wanted to go hunting,
So I bought A 303.
I bought a box of bullets,
So I could practice at a tree.
I went to Lake Wright Patman,
And I hid behind a rock.
I stared into the bushes,
Where I heard a sudden knock.
I slowly raised my rifle,
And slowly... animal poems
