I believe you have meet the required number of syllables.

Your picture was a great choice.

Enjoyed the read.

Best of luck with the 25 Syllable Poem writing contest.

This twenty-five-syllable poem, Let Wildlife Live, has the proper syllable count and suggests that all creatures have value in our world.

Let Wildlife Live

Hello my friend

Beautiful poem and presentation.

Kan/ga/roos in the bush/land
Deer on the plain
Wild/life of di/ffe/rent sorts
should be trea/ted all the same

Good syllable count.

Kangaroos in the bushland(,)
Deer on the plain(,)
Wildlife of different sorts
should be treated all the same

Without the commas your poem doesn't flow...it sounds disjointed.

Good job

You're absolutely right about that! I love the message conveyed in this. Unfortunately for some species like the white rhino, it's to late. I think the rhino in general. Man's greed strikes again. Thanks for sharing this informative and well written work. Well done!

I have written so many poems with this theme. It is so obvious to me. Just let them live. Sports hunting disgusts me more than anything. I can't abide people who enjoy killing.
Anyway, I'll stop my ranting. Thank you for posting this one.

You were on my wave length! I was thinking about your poem, and then your reply popped up. It was an easy fix and didn't take away from the poem. You are welcome for the review. I took out the suggestion from it, too.

hello. what a wonderful poem for this writing prompt. The near rhyme works really well and pulls it all together.
The last line is direct and tightenes up the theme.
May you be well,

We have our prejudices when it comes to wildlife and our preconceived ideas often are damning to certain creatures and we all deserve the chance at life, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
