"How To Be Eaten By a Lion" by Michael Johnson
This poem reflects that if you are in a threatening or non-threatening position than a person must stand by what they know is right and stand their ground against opposition and lies. Do not rail and rant at your fate but continue standing steadfast and be truthful, honest and hold onto your dignity. Although, life is different and throws many unkind blows sometimes these minor or major skirmishes leave pain and a person must realize the world and people within can be unkind but a person must still continue to stand and live upright. By persevering and living courageously this will reveal the true nature of you and that is you are a survivor.

To Yahweh" by Tina Kelly
This poem reflects that God is the very essence of the blood of Christ...that he is the life fluid that runs through our veins. He is all that is good, kind, loving and normal in our life and he will carry us through the hardest episodes in our life when we stray to far from the path and light. His voice is the thunder and lightening and the harsh hand of discipline if we stray far from his path of righteousness. That he is the giver of food in the time of trouble and the book of knowledge. He is also the creator of Eve the mate and love of Adam. He is the giver of her to bring forth life in such a finely created form created she and he. He is thee that which release the soul into a newly born, the creator of music, learner of the unlearned, the one to whom we pray and the giver, forgiver and the lover of all, teacher of all, forever.

"What I Think of Death, If Anyone's Asking" by Maud Kelly
This poem relays that scientists are driven to ensure the quality and safeness of dairy products and the health of livestock. Intriguing to see the vision of them providing substance and life to the many and the hard work that goes in providing dairy products that one unknown and untutored would be surprised by the very complexity of what seems a simple task. Further, reflected the indiscretions of youth taking one drink too many and trespassing on someone's land and playing tricks on the farmer's livestock.

"Why do you keep putting animals in your poems?" by Lance Larsen
This poem reflects the author's appreciation to be alive and his/her prayers of thankfulness. Greater and small things are given thank for and what has been learned. Further, acceptance of who he is and that his happiness is leaping by leaps and bound is reflected. Also, the more problems that a person gets rid of the more a happier they get and feel reborn out of the seriousness of it all. The more problems that a person gets rid of the more a person hungers for new adventures or goals that makes a person laugh with glee at a new challenge. This type of relaxation or recreational activity relaxes our stress level and keeps us sane. Sometimes you just have to take time out, play and improvise.

"Open Field" by Phillis Levin
This poem relays that we as a people like to be viewed as an individual and judged on our own merits. Further, that we have the same right to be happy as others and have the same opportunity as well. But as is the nature of man some are criticized for being different, for being a changer, for being a dreamer and for being someone who wishes to just be different. Also, that plans of tomorrow can be made tentatively until made definitely and reflects the interaction of one thing to another. Further, that we cannot forget where we come from and always remember the bridge that carried us to our destination.
