Creature Comfort

Rating: 5.0


There is just so much
Tom does with his scratching post
Killer loves chew toys
Would orcas drown given life
in tanks two sizes too small?

Well written- succinct and powerful. Would orcas drown given life /, in tanks two sizes too small? - - I suspect they would like to- they were created for the width and depth of the oceans, nothing less. Your heart is definitely showing, my friend. 10++++++++++++++++++++++++

We should spend some time and look at the situation from the other side once in awhile. Then perhaps, the way we take things for granted will change. Thanks Mj'

A perfect philosophical write on life and nature having a nice theme. We mustn't be selifish and ignorant to others. We should share love each other as we are the habitants of the world. Beautiful poem shared. Thanks.

Thank you so much, Kumarmani. I do agree....sharing with others, all others, builds security in our world.

After read this, I admit I took sometimes to look at it deeper. I think it would be right to say this is all bcause of selfishness, self comfort and ignorant to others...if we respect to every thing lives around.. It be more comfy for all and rights to all. We sharing earth house, we are housemate guys! :)

to scratch the itch can be a mechanical action or a pleasureable luxuary, all love toys to delight or food for thought to chew on, outsized too big or too small is not our optimum comfort fit
