Kudos for not killing the baby snake. I liked the two limericks about the bear best.
Good poem. Nature is the perfect company while we grow up. Top rate, Sure, Bri.
I have seen young black bear when I went to Smoky Mountains with my cousins. I encountered a lot of snakes of different kinds. We have a lot in tropical countries.
My 'understanding' is that you live in U.S. now. My Mom told me that when HER mom wore LONG dresses (and petticoats?) while tending a garden, snakes sometimes got into those clothes. Yikes.
It is hard to describe animals when you are limited by poetic forms.Yet, you did it with ease.
'ease'? Yes, well pretty much so. I'm lucky it comes pretty easily to me. Of course it was more than animals I was describing. : )
A well crafted limericks vividly depicting some interesting animals.
Thanks to YOU and ALL OTHER COMMENTERS of yesterday, today, and the future. THANKS, readers. bri ;)
Damn, I JUST found a typing typo (blame it on keyboard?) : 'it's' should be 'ITS' (no apostrophe! !) . bri ; ( Now to correct it.
If nine limericks why not nine animals instead of seven? We want nine! We want nine! We want nine!
Keep your pants on, Belle. : ) NOW the limericks are all there, but.........i MIGHT write two more for YOU, maybe about bats, and maybe about hummingbirds?
I have seen a scarlet tanager but not the other two animals mentioned so far. The bird was beautiful.

Entertaining and informative, all the limericks are a pleasure to read.The bird Baltimore Oriole's nest looks like the nest of a bird we call 'Bai chadhei'. I have only seen the nests hanging from the leaf stalks of high palm trees.I have never seen the bird.
