Poem about Surviving: Display and Concealment

Marc Latham’s latest Folding Mirror poem needs no introduction.

If you follow the tale
to the end of the tail,
you may get the idea
but you might also fail.

Tale of the Weakness Tail

predators are circling
looking for
easy meals
only show weakness
grown out
of you

wag tail like dog, dispose a la gecko

sing happy
flying free
survival is strength
learn life
looking out
while enjoying views
