From the mountains high

To the ocean’s floor

Or higher in the atmosphere

Lives creatures we all adore

Some slime or slither

Some walk or crawl

Some swing or hang

From branches in forests so tall

Still they all live together

Even though some are dangerous

And some are less than cute

But can be carnivorous

Some are near extinction

They are endangered

They just want a chance to live on

They just need to be heard.

Welcome to BZPower! You've certainly done a first post in style, and I really like this poem. The meter is established quite well, and it flows nicely even though some parts don't rhyme perfectly. But that's okay, because it sets up a nice beat.

More importantly, I'm glad that you chose this topic for your poem. If there's one responsibility that we all share as human beings, it is that we must cherish and protect the wild creatures that share Earth with us. Obviously it is critical to protect those creatures that are endangered, but why should we stop with only those? No matter how loathsome or perplexing they may be, all animals have their own place in nature. You've really captured that idea, that they all have stories to tell, and that people simply need to listen.

With any luck, this topic should get plenty of love now that the new forum has been added. Keep up the good work!
