Animals

These animals I call my friends,
They all have one within them
Waiting to be let out,
To be released.

A penguin, a tiger,
A wolf, a dragon,
A panda, a cat,
A dolphin and a lion.

All of my friends,
Whom I refer to as animals,
They lie in wait,
To be reactivated.

A lynx, a panther,
A bird, a snake,
A dog, a rat,
A ferret and a hamster.

All of these wild beings,
I call my friends,
They wait with age old patience,
To be free once more.

A mouse, a moose,
A doe, a deer,
A penguin, a polar bear,
A lark and a dodo.

Be free, my loves,
To do as you please.
Be free, my friends,
To live your lives.
Be free, my animals,
To be who you wish to be.

I really enjoyed this. It was cute, and it's interesting to view your friends personalities as that of animals. Thanks for sharing. :)

I quite disagree with you. This is very good!

The message is an old one.. exhorting us to be ourselves, but the way you've presented it is new. I like the intentionally repetitive stanzas with just the right amount of variation.

Very good stuff!

I liked it. And I love animals. Good job. Not perfect. But still great. =)

its actually really good Cheyenne! I love how each verse alternates from an intention and slight repetition, then to a verse with corresponding animals either to each other or to the verse. I especially loved the final verse, how it tied everything together!
