1. I bite and I fight,
snap to trap
meat to eat.
I’m gloomy, glum, dumb.
I’m a crocodile.

2. I gaze and I graze
as I crop, chop the grass
and stare and moo
and make milk to share
with you.
Content.

3. I’m a cat on the mat
where it’s warm
and I dream
in the day,
but I come and go
to stalk my prey
in the dark of night
with eyesight bright.

These are lovely, such characterful little portraits.

Oh, thank you. They were fun to compose, and I hope fair, if anthropomorphic! Rhiannon

Points of view. How about something like a hawk? But great as is! Tom

Thank you, Tom. Now what does a hawk see, and do?! Rhiannon

He clasps the crag with crooked hands; Close to the sun in lonely lands,

Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls; He watches from his mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Lord Tennyson

Oh! Thank you, Tom. I hadn't read that. Rhiannon
