Tropical Winter

Aloha poets,
     Cool tropical winter setting inspires today's poetry. Enjoy!

Miracle Circle

No free ride fancies a new change in horses
To ferry the furry alters history's courses
The wild scamper across the dead wood
In native motive behaving as it should

Jungles of the Amazon where apple trees abound
Underpasses usurp poverty's poetry on the ground
America once the new miracle as Alaska now stands
Overestimates orchestrate the furry beady eye brands

Frantic antics shortchange itches and such
Thorny engineering allows them all to touch
Christmas trees burrow a breeding grounds
Forest center for housing instant icon clowns?

Animation sets out on its daily annual trek
Deer and elk find underpasses scary as heck
The Digital Age dances in crummy little ways
Hallowed tradition hollows out on logs its plays

Medical costs, repair bills take to the highway
Claims unnerve as central calms fear to fly away
Speech seeks its own solution to the car-critter crash
Debt-ridden horses always die amidst owner's new flash

Traditional boundaries blur by grass roots appeal
High concepts of wildlife as a bargain or a deal?
Institutional forces flirt with flowers on a trip
Forest animals' miracle circle a radar blip
