S/he?


                           Why is it that mostly in duck land
                                  genders are easy to see:
                  " He's" always well-clad and "she's" a bit drab,
                    but in geese, you can't tell "he" from "she"!

Glow-er



                    Yes, there is one thing that I'd like to know:
                 why is it that sometimes some objects just glow?

Observer



                        I didn't know who was up there in the tree,
                            it looked like some quiescent queen,
                     who was lying in state, to survey her estate,
                             and show off her mantel of green.

Is what?



                        Now what is this creature portraying,
                                and for why, I cannot say!
                             I only know it's a big so and so,
                                and it totally blew me away!

Da Boss



                                 I'm glad I'm not a bulldog,
                           though it might be fun for a while,
                     I could always look cross and act like the boss, - 
                          but when could I ever ever smile?

What/where?


                         It looks like it should be the gateway
                                 to some magical monarchy;
                      but if it should be some place we can't see,
                              what do you think it should be?

Swish!






                     Well it won't take a prize as a photo,
                            but it does a few other things:
             with his stance all prepared,  just a swish of the air, -   
                       Can't you feel the force of those wings!

Fashions

   You all know this bird of paradise bloom
                           that dazzles with colors so bright,
                   so why do you 'spose that its neighbor chose
                              to do it in black and white?

Sad sack



                         There's something about sad eyes,
                           that casts a dark cloud on my day;
                    so I beg you, dear lass, if you won't let me pass, 
                             just don't look at me that way!

Break-through



                   No matter how strong we can build a wall,
                              or what damages may incur.
                  Mother Nature will always break through them all
                               to ensure a future for her.

Hiding?



                       I saw this big leaf in the shade, at first,
                         just green, with no special design;
                   then out came the sun, and started the fun,
                          cuz look what was hiding behind!

Revelry


                   Whatever the world they're emerging from,
                          whatever the cause of their revels,
                   I can't help but envy the fun and the frenzy,
                            it's surely the dance of the devils!

Introduction



                      You meet an enchanting young puppy,
                           and you try to get a good view;
                    but later you see that it's not you, but he,
                         who is doing the looking,- at you!

Hattis



                           There was an old lady named Hattis,
                      who was teased for her pride in her statice;
                 but when it won a prize, all the folks were surprised,
                             which magnified Hattis's status.

Vegetarian



                  When you see where your greenery looks a bit munched,
                 you'll know where a deer has been having his lunch,

Puzzle

\


                       There is an item on grocery shelves
                            that leaves me feeling quite daft:
                         If what we see is truly fat-free,
                            then what is the other half??

Junior jitters



                          Do you think little junior wonders:
                              if my bro gets to be the big tree,
                     takes over from Dad, what's left to be had?
                        … what's going to happen to me?

View



                            
                          When you see this garden window,
                            you think you are peeking through;                                   
                      But don't be surprised, it's fooling your eyes,
                              It's a mirror, returning your view.

Dancers



                      I love to watch dancers and dancing,
                        and when these leaves catch the air,
                     the harder it blows the better the show,
                          the finest you'll see anywhere.

Assurance



                         It must be rewarding to feel so secure
                           wherever you're passing through;
               you don't have to go slow, because somehow you know,
                        that sign was put there just for you.

Irresistible



                            If I were a lusty Indian lad,
                           I'd dream of an outfit like this;
                         and if I were a lonely Indian lass,
                               how could I ever resist?

Homebound



                           We've had a long day on the water,
                              dealing with bad tides and more;
                      it's been a bit rough, we've all had enough,
                               it's good to be heading ashore!

Gull's gabble


                       Who are you out there, that looks just like me?
                               You're where I am supposed to be; 
                            so why am I here, trapped on this pier,
                                Gulls are supposed to be free!

Selfie



                       Do  you think they will call me indiscreet,
                                  if I show-off my selfie 
                                           right there on the street?

Wet pet?



                 Lady, before you put that on your pet,
                     just take my word:
                                     we would rather be wet!

Venus?


                          Is this an abstracted Venus I see,
                      that's supposed to arouse some feeling;
                          or is it a stain produced by the rain,
                       seeping through a susceptible ceiling?

Meaning?



                        
                    I've tried to find some kind of meaning in this
                        'cuz this scene really caught my eye,
                 but with so many doubts, I wore myself out,
                            would any one else like to try?

Feisty fellow


                   When I see this guy fire off his shots,
                           itching to start a brawl,
                   It seems nice to me to know you could be
                         so sure of yourself when so small.

Teaser



                      Sometimes when something catches your eye,
                              and just what it is doesn't show,
                         don't worry because, whatever it was,
                             you don't always have to know!

Dreamer?



                     Do you suppose that that little green"he"
                        is expecting to grow into a big tree?

Coupling



                         It''s nice that, for snails,
                             two can still beat as one,
                                 but it's hard to see how
                                          they can  have any fun!
