(I finished this last night. Already I've been told it's 'cute.' But is it something more than cute? It's a little too long to fit into the alloted space here so please wait until I add the rest of the poem in 'Details'.)
Twinkle, Twinkle Crying Star
If
each elephant envisions
erroneous epithets,
while wombats wander worldwide
wordlessly wondering why,
mongooses maintain mostly
morose mouthy monologues,
and aardvarks act aimlessly
avoiding all affection -
If
poor pious possums ponder
plaintive, painful platitudes,
confused, caustic cattle can't
compose cud coherently,
wounded woodpeckers worry
without wiggly, witless worms,
cautious, crying crocodiles
cannot contemplate chaos -
If
reptiles reject regression,
eagles equate erosion,
dolphins detest dire dogma,
camels cringe collectively,
bears bare begrudging burdens,
tortoises try to tunnel,
owls oust outlandish options,
horses have hemorrhages,
And
skunks smell sudden suicide -
(Cont.)
