Assignment: For today’s poem, take inspiration from ‘Camouflage’__ you may apply it in any way you like, whether you write about visual or social dissimulation, or focus in the way we hide our myriad emotions,actions, and reactions. What would be your ultimate smokescreen, concealment, or mask?
Image from Wikipedia
The peacock flounder,is a flowery fish
They are outwardly colored
with spots that are bluish!
………………………………
Their ability to change color
in mere seconds
helps them to hunt
and hide from predators!
…………………………
These flowery flounders
can move in any direction
One eye can look forward
and the other can look backward!
…………………………….
Camouflage is the name of the game
Comparatively humans put us to shame
Our human predator’s face is so fake
We are unable to recognize them
Even if our life is at stake!
………………………
Many innocent lives are lost
We don’t seem to have the instinct
like that of the flowery flounder
Who is always ready to react
whatever may be the cost!
