Pickled Scenery Poem by s.zaynab kamoonpury

A labrador barks at a passing stranger
as the pond geese honk sensing some danger
Trudges back home a rangy lone ranger.

Dolphins perform in the aquatic circus
Kids count on the time-old abacus
All in all the miracle of creation's fabulous

Big and little aubergines cast a purple shade
In the twilight birdsong begins to fade
Night makes navy-blue of the greenery's jade.

Wolves howl in the distance
Panthers prowl near the pig pens
Ocelots growl about their dens.

Elsewhere the morn dawns upon wee ladybirds
And shepherds go about grazing their hungry herds.

A rare sight of starfishes settle upon beach pebbles
Pink salmon in a see-through lake breath out bubbles
Ah and no life should end up in debris or rubbles.

Wild species lurk in the murky forest
Stands tall and hovering high mount Everest
A chance to enjoy nature at its very best!

Admit it O' mankind no one can ever be
at par with your and my versatile Creator
The billions of species is far too extraordinary
He single-handedly created all that variety in nature.
For even the clever human who invented the radio
did not as well model the computer
The one who designed my dresser couldn't design my patio
It'd be rare for a shoemaker to also be a tutor

But God He made both ant and elephant
and there's absolutely nothing that He can't.
