My cat’s paws are soft and light
As she tiptoes through the night
Silent steps and graceful leaps
Her perfect paws, my heart they keep

Fluttering wings, so delicate and bright
A butterfly’s flight, a wondrous sight
Dancing on the breeze, free and light
Nature’s art, a joy to sight

Elegant elephants in fields of green
Gentle giants, a grandeur unseen
Trunks like hands, so wise and kind
Their majesty, a grand design

Slinky snake, a sly surprise
Sliding through grass, hooded eyes
A quiet hunter, uncoiling might
Tongue flicking, a flashing light.

Medium Poems

1. “Eagle’s Flight”

High in the sky, the eagle soars,
Above the mountains and the shores.
With graceful wings, it glides with ease,
A true embodiment of nature’s peace.

The eagle’s cry echoes through the air,
A sound that’s both wild and rare.
It symbolizes freedom and pride,
And fills our hearts with joy inside.

With keen eyes, the eagle spies its prey,
And swoops down to the earth to slay.
It’s a sight to behold, so majestic and bold,
And one that never gets old.

In the eagle’s flight, there’s a sense of wonder,
A feeling that makes us all ponder,
On the beauty of creatures so true,
And the marvels that nature can do.

2. “The Tiger’s Stripes”

The tiger’s stripes, so bold and bright,
Are a sight that fills us with delight.
They mark its majestic golden fur,
And make it a creature that’s hard to blur.

The tiger roams through the jungle,
Proud and fierce, and never humble.
With cat-like grace, it moves with ease,
Hunting down its prey in the trees.

The tiger’s growl is deep and loud,
A sound that makes us all feel proud.
It’s a symbol of strength and power,
And a creature of the wildflower.

In the tiger’s stripes, there’s a message so clear,
A reminder that we must hold dear,
That all creatures have a right to roam free,
And to live the lives that they’re meant to be.

3. “Dolphin’s Dance”

The dolphin’s dance, in the ocean deep,
Is a sight that makes us stop and peep.
With playful jumps, it flies through the waves,
A creature that’s happy and always behaves.

The dolphin’s sleek body, with shiny skin,
Is a beauty that’s hard to begin.
It glides through the water with utmost grace,
A natural performer all over the place.

The dolphin’s clicks and whistles, so unique,
Are a language that we can only seek.
It’s a sound that speaks of joy and glee,
And one that the dolphin uses to communicate free.

In the dolphin’s dance, there’s a feeling of joy,
A sense that nothing can ever destroy.
It’s a reminder that we all need to play,
And to enjoy life in our own unique way.

Long Poems

Beneath the Wild Blue Yonder

Beneath the wild blue yonder,
Where untamed beasts do roam,
There lies a world of wonder,
That we have yet to fully know.

From the mighty lion’s roar,
To the gentle sway of a deer,
Nature’s canvas is never a bore,
Its beauty ever so clear.

The elephant marches on,
With footsteps that shake the ground,
While a monkey swings upon,
Trees that in the wind make a sound.

The giraffe towers tall,
With grace in every stride,
While a butterfly’s fluttering call,
Is like the rhythm of the tide.

A wolf’s howl fills the night,
As it hunts beneath the moon,
While a whale’s tail takes flight,
In the ocean’s deep, dark gloom.

The eagle soars above,
With a powerful, graceful flight,
As the dolphin leaps and loves,
In the cool of the ocean’s might.

The rattlesnake slithers on,
With its toxic, venomous bite,
While the horse gallops along,
In the fields of green delight.

These magnificent creatures,
Are part of our shared Earth,
Their equal rights and features,
Are a symbol of their worth.

So let us all embrace,
Their majesty and splendor,
And appreciate each face,
Beneath the wild blue yonder.
