looking for a poem about experiencing simple emotion

hi, my girlfriend needs a poem for class about simple emotion, perhaps in the perspective of an animal. she's trying to show that animals feel too. it's kinda hard to find online, and i don't think she's supposed to write her own, although we tried, and it just doesn't come out right.
thank you very much :-)

Perhaps look into the haiku of Basho. He wrote much about nature in a simplistic, concise manner.
Hope this helps

A childhood fave. Its not from an animal's perspective, but its got one in it... Alligator Pie by Denis Lee Alligator pie, alligator pie, If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die. Give away the green grass, give away the sky, But don't give away my alligator pie. Alligator stew, alligator stew, If I don't get some I don't know what I'll do. Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe, But don't give away my alligator stew. Alligator soup, alligator soup, If I don't get some I think I'm gonna droop. Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop, But don't give away my alligator soup. *edit* And another, more recent one I quite like, also by Lee 'A Plan For Preserving Birdsong' Is it true that tiny lawyers Hatch in puddles in the spring? I plan to capture orioles And teach them how to sing; But if they can't, the lawyers, Dressed in tiny feathered suits, Could congregate in sheltered spots And play on tiny flutes.
-------------------- Remember, it's only true if it makes you laugh...
