The unicorn. A symbol of mystique and fantasy. At the same time, it has the elegance, purity and innocence we should try to emulate. Enjoy these little tankas.
Rare unicorn, its
Soul covered by clouds that we
Try to part - cannot
Mane of hair, its sheen
Bright and curious, perplexing
Rare unicorn, a
Fantastic beast of beauty
A horse with a horn
That appears in our dreams
To take us to places wondrous
A rare unicorn, form
Poised and tasteful, so refined
A horse magical
And elegant, it struts
With its hoofs gracing the ground
A rare unicorn, a
Babyish horse, that neighs with
Cry of a newborn
Its dove skin snow white and pure
Crying for the life unknown
A rare unicorn its
Soul yet untainted, unmarred
Knowledge still not scarred
Mind filled with the escapades
Yet to embark and score.

The Turtle
The turtle. Not the creature you'd think of straightaway when composing a cover for Zoo Magazine, its picturesque shell notwithstanding. However, it can teach us a few this about impulse control, tolerance, patience, resilence, and the importance of peace of mind in adversity.
