The first,
A wave
A bit of sea foam
Scattering sand.

The second,
She wolf
Seeking puppies
Seeking a pack.

The third
Mountain lion mistress,
Rainbow parade
Glitter in the wind.

The fourth
A lotus amidst the muck
Soft-petalled,
Already rotting away.

The fifth
Fascinating flame
An efreet all black around the edges
Burning everything away.

The sixth
Sweetest snuggle tiger
Soft as cutting claws
Ferocious as a kitten's mew.

My words come from the heart. There's nothing of the rational mind here.
