Your kindness towards animals is reflected from your attitude expressed here. This excellent poem carries essence for social awareness. This is very amazing. We should read this again and again.
I also owe you a debt for the poem 'Elegant Embrace' which gave me the idea of writing about animals myself. Thanks.

You have walked around zoos in Auckland and Sydney and observed many animals of diverse categorizes and felt them very well.

Your poem is very brilliantly penned by you.10

The poem reflects your love of all kinds of animals- wild as well as domestic- and dislike for keeping them as pets. The details provided by you are quite enticing. Thank you so much for this wonderful portrayal.
Yes, I do love animals in general, at a distance. I would never have pets though.
