Writing Prompt: May 25 - "Write a poem that has a whimsical mood."

[I really dislike this one... I like the imagery I had in my head with each situation, but I feel like I sucked at getting it to come across in a poem format. The important thing is that it's written. Writing something I dislike is better than not writing anything at all!]


A cat wears people-eye liner

A gator wears Karen-skin boots

A delicate touch from a trunk

plays a tune on enamel tooth keys.


The dog walks his person and ties up their turds

The cow wonders why milk supply dropped

The stallions pay thousands for the 3 year old races

where winners gain clout for breeding rights.


Peacocks take strolls in bars

and comment on mating rituals

Such flamboyant colors! They say,

That male must be quite the catch.

Little do they know.


Ants gather round and peer into skyscrapers

How industrious these beings are.


The hum of the bees wonders why

we put our honey into porcelain pots

The praying mantis lobbies for feminism


The lions and giraffes safari in Compton

Be Mindful, don't get too close to the gangsters.

The young ones are especially aggressive when they're establishing their territories.


The songbirds tour Nashville, Atlanta, and Harlem

It's a relaxing hobby, peopling.


More animals should do it.
