 The stray dog on the street had an inevitable instinct to wag its bushy tail

when ecstatic, 
Garrulously bark at irate trespassers; who hurled irregular stones at its shriveled persona.
 
The leotard skinned cat; had an insatiable instinct to lap vigorously at frosty milk, 
Purr in its ubiquitously pungent voice; when tickled intensely in the ribs.
 
The twin horned cow; had an involuntary instinct of swishing its slender tail; 
to drive away buzzing flies, 
Laboriously chewed loads of grass; before preparing to snooze on the bare tarmac.
 
A battalion of ants on the floor; had inborn instincts of walking in groups, 
Injected their acrimonious sting; the moment they sighted bare flesh in proximity.
 
The birds soaring high in sapphire carpets of satin clouds; had effusive instincts of chirping melodiously, 
Did so at the onset of every evanescent dawn; and the unveiling of stormy night.
 
The slimy frogs residing in shallow realms of the cloistered pond; had a disdainful instinct to croak, 
The instant tumultuous showers of rain; pelted down from the sky in fury.
 
A cluster of animate roses emanating from brown soil; had a perpetual instinct
to diffuse fragrance, 
Sleep with its articulate petals closed; as vigils of dusk strangulated bright light.
 
The serrated brown lizard on the wall; had a vindictive instinct of spurting blood from its eyes, 
The instants it got provoked by kin; envisaged signals of being mutilated.
 
The frivolous monkey perched up in the entwined branches of tree; had mischievous instincts to imitate, 
As he cast his eyes on surrounding organisms; scrupulously emulating their plethora of emotions.
 
And humans breathing air on sacrosanct soil of the universe; had a natural instinct to love, 
Mutually interact; spreading waves of harmony, bliss, and compassion, 
Procreating infinite numbers of their own kind, 
Irrespective of cast; creed; religion and the hour of day they were born and witnessed first rays of brilliant Sunlight

On the Edge of Words by Debra Kraft

Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
