Emotional Animals

Miserable
is an innocent toucan
searching for nourishment for her perishing offspring
in the mesmerizing amazon rain forest
This beautiful creature is not feared by many, but masks from most
Dying
is a discouraged fish
Swimming with a merciless hook lost in its side
Beneath the waves it can now barely swim
The blood fills the water as the fish pulls for its life upstream

Sorrowful
is a depressed Gorilla
Memories of her dear baby before the leopard attacked
Fruit keeps her alive but cannot fill the empty void inside
She is swinging beneath the towering trees in a beautiful land

Excitement
is a bouncing Ostrich
Clearing the path of grass at heroic speed
In peaceful excipients she spends her blissful journal of life
In the distance she will hide her head as danger creeps upon her
