Grazing on different plants

Raining Zebras!


 

She is
designer
of
wild things.


Dizzying
stripes!

No two
are
alike.


Following
the rain,


sweeping
clockwise
to Tanzania


sharing
pastures,


but grazing
on
different
plants,


minimizing
competition.



 

Serengeti
rain,

zebras,


foaling,
new life


rising on
wobbley
legs

soon
ready
to
roam.



 

A
lioness
waiting
to take
one
down,


cat stealth,
cla
ws tear,


 

The
drama
of
life
and
death


keeps us
coming
back.

The striking stripes makes them look wild and exotic. Wonderful poem to match. Enjoyed both, Sage!

Aren't those Zebras absolutley Beautiful. The poem is so wonderful and warm. Although you just had to put the lion in there didn't ya?? but... The ending is absolutely divine as is the whole poem. "Keeps us coming back!" Truthful beautiful and I Love it!

life is a pattern of ups and downs, ins and outs ... the counterpoint of balance, no matter how furious or sublime, keeps things in perspective and motivates us to desire more ...

excellent metaphoric analogy ...

Don't laugh, but I saw these beautiful animals and the first think in my head was Radio City Music Hall and the Rockettes. The second thing was the Skydiving Elvises (or Elvi for plural). The drama of life and death is an amazing dance, isn't it.

Appreciate you Sis,

You have captured life and death on the Serengeti vividly and perfectly. I have always wanted to go to Africa, and you've taken me there with your beautiful words...bless you, this is going into my library to enjoy again and again. BRAVA!

Blessed be, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Vivid, raw, and cruel (in the way of life on this planet at this time) but compelling and captivating, Sage. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Love and peace.
