Two Zebra Poems

I LOVE writing animal mask poems! I enjoy imagining what animals might say if they could speak to us. Here are two poems in which zebras tell us something about themselves:

 

ZEBRA 1

I love my snazzy black and white hide.

I wear it with a lot of pride.

My bold stripes help distinguish me

from other zebras that you see.

I'm truly unique--one of a kind.

We're not all the same!

Keep that in mind.

NOTE: No two zebras have the exact same pattern of stripes on their bodies. They are said to be as

different as human fingerprints.

 

ZEBRA 2

I'm black

            and white.

I'm dark

            and light

like night

            and day.

I may look like a horse

            but I never say NEIGH!

 

Which mask poem do you like better?
