FREEDOM LIMITED
© By Mary Nida Smith
In zoos
animals
run free
behind fences.
Antelopes
on open range
no longer roam.
Deer run free
in restricted forest.
Buffalo roam free
not near ranches
where cattle feed.
Wolves run free.
All the people said,
not by me

I love this poem. Zoos can be good, depending on which one. I love my local Brookfield zoo. They teach the public about animals and how to conserve their environments so they don't become extinct. I like the photo as well, how did the deer let you get so close to them?
Thanks Missy. I am glad you enjoyed my poem. Remember, when I can't get close the camera lenses will bring them to me. It was taken from my bedroom window.
