lillian the home poet

Prickle on parade.
Suddenly frightened, fluffs quills.
Porcupines ready.

Squawking, gawking fun.
Flamboyant cacophony,
flamingos’ party.

Tower strolls slowly
searching for acacia trees.
Giraffes’ favorite treat.

Bloat walks to water,
waddles with heavy slow steps.
Hippos seek cool bath.

Troop hops high and long.
Daily constitutional,
kangaroos’ amble.

Black and white striped suits
mimic Armani’s men’s wear.
Zebras’ dazzle style.

Alfred Hitchcock’s muse,
murder gathers on roof tops.
Crows screech, caw loudly.

FYI: I’ve used the group names of animals here: a group of porcupines is a prickle; a group of flamingos is a flamboyant; a group of giraffes is a tower; a group of hippos is a bloat; a group of kanagaroos is a troop; a group of zebras is a dazzle; and a group of crows is a murder.
