Tied to a tree I watched you
Young & stupid kid
While you danced by Savannah...

There once was a girl named Dana
Who wasn't from old Savannah
She'd lived in Texas
Till she and her nexus
Moved east to Louisiana...

Sun Conures

Brazilian blue bliss
from hot savannah rise these
squealing screechers then 
land so near me peering through 
whited eye rings warily.

There was young lady named Hannah,
Courted by beaus from Savannah,
As a real good Southern girl
Didn't surrender her pearl
Even when groped on the veranda....

Trump focuses on his banana
So what could he do but dump Anna? 
Eight months or seven weeks
Required Trump's special tweaks
So he could blame folk in Savannah!...

We are now swimming up the Boteti River, we twenty-three
To get to grasslands and savannah woodlands, you see
swimming is fun, sang the zebras, and the eating is free...

On the Savannah, animals co-exist
Why can't we, what did we miss
Part of our brain
Missed the last train
Twas the last train to Memhis sealed with a kiss...

I once met a sweet gal from Savannah
She loved the size of my red bandana
She put it around her neck;
Twice, I was a total wreck,
She told me her name was Mrs. Suzanna.

majestic steed
feathered wings soar the heavens
expansive sea of midnight cast
where mystic dreams take flight

Sweet sugar cane,
So sweet and juicy
Well, it just makes
Your mouth,
So watery, inside
Harvest bounty from 
The Savannah fields
Sweet sap running
Down their long 
Slender green spines...

we look like bunnies

embree looked at savannah and said hey hunny...

Africa, beautiful continent
Dreamy echoes fascinate
Giraffes heighten inclines
Jurassic known linger
Madagascar nestles offshore
Primates quest reform
Savannah tribes umbilical
Visioned waves x-ray

That sassy young lassie from Savannah
She wound up in Cuba's old Havana
Playing fine flamenco guitars
Rolling pricey high-class cigars
And shacking with men in her cabana.

Sleek beauty
Silently bounding
On velvet padded paws
Gold against the setting sun
In a shimmer of heat


A jeep out of nowhere
Men with rifles
Take aim in the haze
There lies the lifeless body 
Of Queen of the Savannah...

Among the tombstones -
Before I join the departed -
Calming breezes blow through ancient oaks.
Dew drips quietly from hanging Spanish Moss.
Eternity speaks,"Welcome - I will wait".

Leo living large
Lion lying in his lair
Big belly bloated

Zebra and Zebu
Warily watching, worried
Ready to run

Fatigued full feline 
Snoozes in the savannah
Animals amble

Summer in Savannah
Holds on to languid days for dear life
She refuses to fade quietly into the dark and cold
And lights up autumn days with the warm 
Clinging embrace of an old lover
Who knows breaking up is the right thing to do
But won’t....

When you hear the noisy
of weaverbirds in savannah 
and 
forests,
you just smile the whole day.
When you look up
and 
see how they built 
their nests 
on the long trees, 
Oh! You get astonished by 
their architectural instincts.

Here's a puzzle, what's black, red, black, red, black, red?
This one's a challenge, is it several pieces of jam and toasted bread?
No points did you earn
'Twas a zebra with a sunburn
Rolling on the savannah, trying to get relief before bed!...
