I really have enjoyed this challenge. It's all thanks to an aunt of mine, that gifted me this poetry prompt book. I'll keep doing these as long as I'm inspired by the theme! I followed the same rules; I incorporated the 8 words provided for the theme within the piece.
- fur
- tail
- beast
- untamed
- wild
- creature
- mammal
- feral
What makes something an animal?
Do you need a tail?
Do you need wings?
Just one of these, or both?
Reptilian in nature,
or perhaps amphibious?
I've seen mammals,
birds, insects, fish, and more.
They can be feral,
most are wild.
I've even seen untamed beasts,
and harmless human companions.
How can so many different things,
be all called the same.... animal?
Those with feathers or some with fur,
each creature different from the last.
Scales in every color under the sun,
and others pale and transparent from living in darkness.
Such diversity, and such uniqueness,
I would not mind being called,
an Animal.
