More from the wonderful natural world. All creatures great and small.
Silverback
Massive in both ego and size,
being aggressive is no surprise.
It falls short of following through
an attack – just as well for you.
A gentle, giant, family beast,
caring for each member large to least.
An animal with power to be a thriller,
the dominant silverback mountain gorilla.

Woodlouse
Is it an insect or some kind of fish
it lives on land but what is its wish.
Would it be happier under the sea,
where it could roam about totally free?
A
dull looking creature with hard outer shell,
creeping
‘neath stones and doors as well.
An
unwelcome visitor inside your house,
the
persistently silent, harmless woodlouse.
