LIONS

Near an ancient standing boabob tree
The lion sits with burning mane
He looks all around
But makes no sounds,
In the heat of African plain.

Behind, in the gray and cooling shade,
The rest of the pride is lying.
After the kill
They have eaten their fill
And now sleep the safe sleep of the lion

Yomorrow they will awaken refresh,
A a new day breaks over the plain,
and they'll sleekly rise
With death in their eyes,
To start the hunt over again.


THE EAGLE

He clasp the crag with crooked hands
Close to the sun in lonely lands
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls
He watches fro his mountain walls
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

ROBIN-A- ROBIN


Robin-a-bobbin
He bent his bow
Shot at a pigeon
And killed a crow
Shot at another
And killed a crow
Did robin-a-bobbin
When he bent his bow

~MAGPIES~

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a kiss,
Four for a boy,
Five for a silver,
Six for a gold,
Seven for a secret
Never to be told,
Eight for a letter
From over the sea,
NIne for a lover
As true as can be.


THE PTARMIGAN


The ptarmigan is strange,
The strangest bird to see;
Never sits on ptelephone poles
Or roosts up in a ptree.
But by the way she ptakes pto spelling
Is the strangest pthing pto me.

this is just samples of the poems for animals...there is more soon! :)
