Black and white ripples

Against firm equine muscles –

Zebras on parade

Thanks, Reena. I was trying to add them even as you were commenting! I had already begun selecting the groups before I realized I hadn't added the pictures and didn't want to lose all that clicking, so I went back to edit and my connection stalled. Had to dial in again and start over. Isn't technology fun?

Good piece. I heard/read that a zebra's stripes are the white ones.

Thank you all!

Karen, it depends on the variety of zebra. Some are considered white on black, others black on white. I think even the experts still debate it. I've made a little change which may help.

good haiku. I like how the zebra is near the water and you use ripples to describe him. Clever
