Thanks, Sally. At first I was stumped. Fun to look up the magical aspects of this animal. ❤️
A fantastic survivor of ancient times. ♥
They’re so prehistoric!
Love that this highlights the value of the crocodile, especially as a benefit to humankind! Well done.
Thanks, Sis. I was terrified of those critters in Florida, but they are part of the ecosystem. 🥰
I was terrified of them in Florida as well. I like the version in your poem much better.
LOL! Thanks, Liz. 😀 <3
😀 You’re welcome, Colleen!
perfect match of your tanka with the photo, colleen
Thanks, Beth. I wasn’t sure where to go with the photo. A spirit animal seemed to work best. 😂
I love this and YES, this croc is putting off some powerful energy!
So many have agreed. They can feel this energy! 🥰
All reptiles look like they are keeping ancient wisdom, but especially crocodiles. That eye is fierce! (K)
Right? Like they know something no one else knows…
Nailed it! <3
Thanks, Sis . 🥰
Oh this is a beautiful tanka, unique
Thank you, Jude. I was totally stumped and this is what came out of me. LOL! <3

A terrific poem, Colleen.
Thanks, Robbie. This was such an interesting photo to work with. <3
Ooh, loved this one! The “totem” theme of it was so rugged and enticing.
Dr. G!! Is that your photo? Awesome!
Yeah – thanks!
I knew it! I told you it was bad ass if you were a woman! 😂
Yup! Is me.
Love it! 😂
I would not say they are one of my favorite animals, but that was 2 great pictures.
Thanks, Geri. I’m not an aligator/crocodile person either, but this was just fun to write about. <3
