Animal Poems by South Paris Collaborative
__Wolf__ by Ann In the soft white snow, A wolf waits, With his big eyes, starring blankly; His black little nose, stays still, sniffing the air, waiting there; His beautiful gray fur, sticking out, getting ready, but still waiting; Then the front leg rises, As quick as lightning, Jumps out, To catch his prey; No more waiting. ..

 __Crocodile__ by Jibran  On the bank of a river  a crocodile awaits.  Its mouth slowly opens,  eyes wide and large.  Snout facing strait foward;  protected in a  wildlife park.  It waits to be fed.  Teeth sharp and pointed.  Scales gleaming in the sun.  As green as grass.  It wants it's meal.  Water behind it, it can snap it's jaw.  Large, green and scaly. <span style="color: #22501b; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif;"> It waits to be fed.

Ribbiting loudly Sleeping on the leaf. So, so quiet. Too hard to be seen. Nowhere to be found.

 * Animal Poems by DreamExtreme Students - Medford, Oregon**

//By Cassidy// Dancing Dolphins, here, chattering and waving their tail fins. Bobbing their graceful heads up and down. Dancing gracefully in the deep blue sea.
 * Dancing Dolphins**

//By Student// In the jungle there’s a monkey swinging from the vines. Smiling, eating its banana, while it plays with its brothers and sisters As happy as he can be. And when the day is done going home to sleep for the night.
 * The Monkey**

//By Eric// Snake slithers through the rainforest. Leaves rustling when the snake slithers by its prey. Stalking the prey. Then it strikes the prey with great powerful venom. So radiant. So smooth, hanging from trees. Basking in the HOT tropical sun.
 * Snake**

//By Justin// A chimp sitting on a tree. His hands clinging onto the tree. His smile so big with happiness. He sees a bug on the tree, grabs it and puts it in his mouth. A good night snack.
 * The Chimp**

//By Haley// Phantom, as they call her. A sweet smell of myrrh Never-ending fluff White as snow Eyes like black almonds Only much more shimmery. No one has yet touched her So quick So small But still so delicate. She spies a mouse in the distance She crouches down Ready to pounce Tail slightly poofed BOOM!!! She leaps into the air And lands on the mouse, perfectly. Suddenly, her head jolts up. Mouse still hanging in her mouth. Must’ve heard a noise. Then, she disappears. Maybe she really is a Phantom.
 * Phantom**

//By Benny// The black horse is running through the wind, living its freedom. Racing the eagle, soaring faster and faster.
 * Horse**

//By Evan// A cougar on the riverside looking at the water with his paw in the air. As still as a statue. BAM! He swipes the water with great force. Catching a fish with his paw. He runs back to his family with the fish in his mouth, to eat and go to sleep
 * Cougar**

//by Dominik// Viperfish live in the deep dark sea. So strange and so mysterious. There is more to know about them still. More can be discovered. sleep for the night.
 * Viperfish**

//By Matthew// There! Under a blackberry bush A rabbit lay peaceful in rest Opening its eyes in the early summer sun. Leaves lying on its little head Thistles of the bush avoiding the little fur ball so soft and cuddly by the looks of it, He stretches like a fat cat would after a long warm nap by the fire. Then, he feels tired and drops his little head for another nap so peaceful like before.
 * Rabbit**

//By Bryce// Early in the morning, swinging and hopping in the jungle with it’s black charcoal eyes gleaming in the sunlight. Wet from the morning dew, hunting for food in the mysterious darkness. The Orangutan swings through the forest.
 * Orangutan**

//By Ben// The dog sits there so lazy and sleepy with her eyes drooping being scratched by her owner with her ball in her mouth looking out in the forest her eyes finally close, just snoozing away without a care in the world.
 * Dog**

By Stuart Under a rose bush The rabbit stares Stretches his legs Nose nibbles Relaxes soft ears Carefully over A fury back Twitches blinks Chews with tiny Teeth at a near leaf Sniffs flops On his back Yawns closes His eyes In his little rose bush

By Wiley
 * Snake**

Beneath a grove of elaves A snake readies for attack; Smells the air with its tongue hisses, lowers its head to the ground carefully in between the piles of leaves. Springs up with alert bites of Venomous fangs at its prey Hisses and slithers into a spot of sun Sighs, closes its eyes: sleeps all afternoon in a new skin.

By Adriana
 * Gecko**

On a big rock the gecko sits still Lifting his head, Spots, Stripes, Running to get prey carefully getting closer grass blades; stares right, aleert; sneaks up the hill, blinks, licks, In the junk yard, hides, glares his eyes: close all night in a beer bottle.

Frog By:Luke

On a Lilly pad a frog jumps to and fro croaks a song and swims under water then drifts onto land and eats a fly then croaks again until night.

Cat By: Sarah Under the shining stars The cat pranced between the stars Walking casually on the porch Mouth, hairball Dangling carefully Along the Rim of the porch Looks up admiring the stars Wishing she could be one Blinks and slowly closes her eyes Sighs, thinks about stars La, La, La (Dream time!)

Buzzard

By: Wiley

Above a telephone pole A buzzard watches a dying animal Sniffs the air with it’s Beak, shrieks Lowers its head to the ground Watching its prey Carefully in between the trees Dives down in delight Eats with a sharp beak Finishes and flys up to its nest sighs closes Its eyes: sleeps For hours With a full stomach
