A-Z Poetry

By Chloe GilholyPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Alligators munch on

broccoli behind the

cabbage pack.

Dark poisons in disguise;

envy in their eyes.

Frogs escape the fungus,

greets the grapes,

hops on herbs and

ivy vines -

jungle days are over!

kiwi and kale for

lizards sleeping on

moss moulds

nocturnal beings

oozing with style

Pepper the parrot's

quiff sways with grace.

She rocks her feet and

shakes as if there's a

tango in the cage.

Unripe bananas and

viridian vegetables

wolfed down by

Xander the monkey.

You can't miss his face!

Zachery Alphabet loves them all!
