A Plagiaristic Poetic Creature Collection II
A Second Rhyming Selection Of Creature Groupings
Introduction
Yesterday I created this poem, which got a good response, but as I was putting it together I was thinking there are loads I had missed and Shauna suggested a "Tower Of Giraffes" on a poetry thread so I thought that could start a follow-up.
I have used the sonnet for this piece of plagiaristic poetry.
The music is "Carnival Of The Animals" by Camille Saint-SaΓ«ns.
I hope you enjoy this.

A Plagiaristic Poetic Creature Collection
Introduction I woke up with the idea to create a poem based on animal groupings. We all know "A Murder Of Crows" and some are well known, but I have included some unusual ones here, Buffalo and Eagles were new to me.

Oh wow, so many more that I didn't know of. Loved your poem!
Interesting!
Great word choices especially Prickle Of Porcupines
Lovely creatures in verse. Well done, Mike!
Perfectly lovely conditions of animals, makes me wonder who comes up with the naming of the groups. Enjoyable and refreshing morning read.
I appreciate the way you highlight the contradictions inherent in being a creator, showing how ideas can be simultaneously unique and borrowed. Itβs an ongoing dance between the self and the larger cultural tapestry we draw from, which makes art both personal and universal.
