ANIMAL POEMS
Poems of "Animal" genre.

by
Avg Rating: (1)


In this folder you will find a myriad of poems on animals of every specie. Being a great animal lover, I find inspiration in all my horses, dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, Llamas, Parakeets and other domestic birds, ducks and other fowl, goats, wolves, you name it ~ ~ I love all animals and have enjoyed a deep rapport with the wildest of them. I have been owned by tamed Raccoons, Horn-toed Lizards, Gila Monsters (a species of venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States), Iguanas, and last but not least, Wolves - so many poems are wolf-based, but you will find, again, poems not only on animals with whom I share a close relationship, but all wildlife and domestic species in general.

This folder dedicated to all the Animals I have been blessed to know and be owned by. And to ones I will never know.

To all animals ~ who have been my greatest Teachers. ** Animated Images For Use By Premium+ Only **
