Black And White Animals Comments

Hi Denis, This is a very interesting poem on black and white animals. No other animal could have been a better example than Zebra with their sharp black and white stripes. Both black and white are strong characters of nature. Through them one can visualise many other colours too, through the mind's eye. A work of art and aesthetics....10

Nothing strange is going on, my friend. That's the work of God, through Mother Nature. Black and white, black and white pearl, ebony and ivory... We can go on and on.

Black and White! ! ! Muse of nature. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Black and white, two contradictions like love and hate or happy and sad. You write a mesmerising poem that explores the puzzle and the enigma of the darkness and the light! ! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my poem " Black and White"

This poem is filled with humor and charming observation. A ten plus!

The panda in forests; and the snow leopard in mountains: A whale, a big cat, an ungulate, and a throwback bear: Their phyla and habitats are as different as can be. great greatly implant of the thought 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

it's a planet on where every existence has a life seen to unseen strange everything related in time, on time, out time scene ..............////

In Mother Nature's gallery when I walk down a corridor of colors I am dazzled to see white and black appearing on a single creature. A powerful start of a thoughtful poem.

A very informative and educational.write. The beauty of the animals endowed with these enticing colors have been painted vividly on the canvas of your poem. Amazing poem worth of being read again.

Mother's Nature Gallery is beyond our human's perception and imagination. That's why we are always curious about the nature and life including the wildlife.An interesting poem based on your trip to Chengdu (成都) , the very beautiful city in the south-west of China. Wonderful!

I guess if there was white around the eyes there would be too much glare entering them. Doesn't everybody know that black ears hear better than white? Thanks for the sift from forgive.

(Contd ) It shows your depth of knowledge on animals living across different geographical region.Inquisitiveness and the question 'WHY' always perplex a scientist as well as a poet. I hope, you get to the bottom of whiteness and blackness of the panda..

Taken together, they show a lovely range of styles In their ways of combining two elemental colors. Is there a message I'm missing, or am I just perplexed? Because I know, for sure, something strange is going on. - - - - - - A great poem as it touches upon a science subject without losing its poetic fervour.

some favorite lines: In Mother Nature's gallery when I walk down a corridor of colors AND: Their phyla and habitats are as different as can be. With stripes, dapples, contours or whimsical color blocs, Taken together, they show a lovely range of styles.........just like the Paris (France) fashion runways! Thanks, bri ;)

i'm about to put the poem into MARCH 'showcase'. i just read it again, and enjoyed it more, as i was not picking it apart. OR analyzing it? anyway, i'll put it into MyPoemList as well. (to be continued) ...

Cont/... I also like to think that the black n white stripes are great for aesthetic reasons while scientists Credit it more to thermo-regulation purposes. And it is a must to point out how your poem describes and muses about the black n whites combination in nature so creatively and smartly that any thinker could e impressed. I feel surprised that such scientific poems are very few and far between. Keep on it. And kudos.

Wow I find it personally very interesting that you should mention zebras in this awesome intellectual muse for one, I was called a zebra since childhood coz it sounded closer to my name zaynab and as I grew up I adopted it as my animal signifying that as well as the fact that I was a fair person who always lived in countries of blacks.

OOPS! CORRECTION REQUIRED OF ME, bri. Penguins are, i think, an odd lo; : ..................should have been odd lot! ! ! they're B & W 'cause God got..... bored with red, green, and blue, so She decided to use 'those two'.

it isn't so easy to pin down what are called the primary colors/colours, but i won't be far off if i say 'red' 'blue' 'green' and 'maybe yellow'. i don't know if Denis means primary when he says elemental. and i don't care! ! ! BUT, as for black and white: some will say they are colors and some will say they are not. ;)))) i DID read the Poet's Notes. thank god/goodness or whatever, i did NOT REPEAT the author's ramblings! bri :)

Google 'says': For many decades, the precise taxonomic classification of the giant panda was under debate because it shares characteristics with both bears and raccoons. However, molecular studies indicate the giant panda is a true bear, part of the family Ursidae...........i hope all my research results aren't duplicated in Denis's Poet's Notes! ! ! ! ! i have not even finished the poem yet. but i've got 'time to kill' tonight!
