plague of exhaustion
extinguishes aptitude
prevents cleverness
numbs the brain, erases thoughts
drains motivation
ignores creativity
denies enchantment
clogs down ingenuity
drowns artistry’s joy
blocks the imagination
cloaks understanding
buries the Muse’s vision
beneath the void of chaos

gangly and awkward
all legs and joints and angles
first steps so wobbly
with mother’s milk and sunshine
foal is ready to explore

in the woodland shade
snow patches transform
white carpet remains
trillium brings spring
waking the robins

curiously climbing
arboreal otter
hides above the water
among the leaves

elephant siblings
wrestling and playing,
learning, exploring,
forming memories,
living traditions
