Animal Acres

Words:  truth, recap, single, leap, feeble, seal, climb, preen, flee, siren, lean, cheat

Preening peacocks strut
single file for full effect.
Seals swim in circles, leaning
into pools that eddy and ripple
in response. A cautious climb
over high rocks brings polar
bears bursting into view.
Pandemonium in pond where
frogs play Leap. Cheetahs
sound a siren a mealtimes.
A home for fleas rests at far end
of land. With circus days
behind them, they are happily
retired.

This recap comes to you via
the weasels, who were turned
away at the door. Who knows
if Animal Acres exists, considering
the weasel’s penchant for poking
holes in the truth.

    I enjoyed your romp through animal acres. Weasels have a tendency to take it on the nose, poor things,
