Fireblossom Friday #2...You Animal!

Hey Toads and Toad followers. Ever have a day when you weren't quite yourself, or maybe you felt like more than your usual self? Did someone cross you and your claws came out? Or, you needed to find the mustang within yourself and break free? Or perhaps you morphed into mama grizzly or ran with the wolves? On the other hand, you could even have found your inner sloth and spent all day relaxing!

My challenge to you today is to find the animal within yourself, or within a character. We're going to leave the actual critters at the zoo. I want the beast inside you to come out. Or the animal beauty!

So, c'mon. Strip off that civilized veneer. Show me what wild thing is hiding inside you, you animals!

    I enjoyed this! May even come up with yet another, as I identify with dogs moreso than cats. LOL.

    This prompt touched a very raw nerve, so I've put the poem (?) on my ranting blog.

    So glad you are doing this! Mine isn't as much about me as the students I see walking in the halls each day. Hope you don't mind.

    I'm rather headachey tonight, and each time I try to think of an idea, my cranium starts to creak! I hope to add to the list of fine pieces which have been linked up already.

    A first post in the garden. The male of the species seems to be outnumbered...

    This is on the wildest animal I ever encountered, and I'm not trying to be cute.
