The Kingfisher
The Kingfisher. Not a bird that we often think of, but one that radiates awe and majesty nonetheless. As its name suggests, it holds rein over the seas, and strikes terror into the beating hearts of the creatures that live in them. Enjoy the simple cinquain ode.

Chocoate Cake
How do you react when you're mistreated by someone? Most of us would retaliate,largely in a passive-aggressive manner. Revenge, however, isn't always sweet. It often, in fact, leaves other tastes in one's mouth. Let's try instead to serve it cold; express our discontent positively.

Train
Trains are an integral part of the story of our lives. We seem to be always rushing around like one. Like them, we are always in a hurry, in a constant "zoom" state that does not seem to abate. They represent the perpetual stress we seem to be under, and the constant need to meet deadlines. Yet, when well-utilized, the train takes us where we want to go.

Clouds
Everything in life is transient. So we have clouds in clear skies that herald a cheerful day ahead. Thunder clouds ring of doomsday, but thankfully that doesn't last for long. The clouds at sunset signal romance and desire. Whatever they symbolize, they have one thing in common - all of them only last for a time.

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.
