From the mind of…in Zanzibar

A Dolphin

Water blue and clear

Swim, jump, then I need to breathe

Humans, boats, I’m trapped

A Red Ant

Work to be prepared

Run, search, gather, save, repeat

“Kill them all!,” They say

A Mosquito

I’m hungry, starving 

Must. Eat. Look! Fresh humans’ blood 

Drunk. Oh no! [smack!] Dead.


A Clove

Yes! Today’s the day!

To meet rice, tea, and curry

I hope they like me 

A Stray Cat

Wild, I’m on the prowl

Grumpy cat ain’t got nothin’

Hissss! Leave me be man


A Coconut

Swaying in the wind

Peaceful in the bright blue sky

He climbs, cuts, I fall

A Tin Roof

Curvy shiny waves

Bored, I get no attention

“Here comes rain!” I cry!


An Octopus (a eulogy)

R.I.P. My friend

I miss your hugs and hand shakes

Death by human taste
