A metaphorical place ,my ZOO

A metaphorical place ,my ZOO


To truly ? be my friend
Come walk with me
Inside my Zoo

A metaphorical place
That embodies 
The bitter , the sweet
 My life of truth

Let me introduce , all these creatures
In my Zoo
Some will show ,their beauty
Others are only monster
Caged , from my days of abuse

Warning !!!
Please don’t feed these animals
Unless , my friendship
Is worth the danger to prove.
That fear over love
Won’t be a choice
You choose .

So lets walk some more
There are others creatures
To view
 
Like my birds of dreams
And the
Monkeys made of my humor
Playing in the trees .
Elephants are a
Source of strength
A foundation for
My reasoning .
Also the mouse
His common sense of seeing.

There are so many more of
These creatures
That are my metaphors
So enter with care , and be warned
My heart will take your ticket at the door

Interesting rhythm

I found myself swaying from side to side inside with this, almost four legged movement through your personal zoo.I liked the concept and yes fun too. Seabhac
