The animals were gathered there
discussing their sad fate.
They knew they were illusions all
and conjured up too late.
- a quatrain in ballad meter. The picture was a whimsical creation of a few boring moments at work. I had been interviewing new prospective students, earlier, and I often have the students draw an animal ("follow instructions in English" / "Describe a picture in English"). These animals are mine, but inspired by first-grade student-drawn animals.
