Poetry

Malunggang

Suzanne Edgar

 The platypus goes where nobody knows

so silent she is, and secretive.

Perhaps you may glimpse her bill or her nose

though the platypus goes where nobody knows.

She uses her bill as if it’s a sieve

but I won’t divulge where she chooses to live

for the platypus goes where nobody knows

so silent is she, and secretive.
