I'm writing a short piece, and I'd like your help. Am I using the word zoomorphic correctly? Is there a better term? Here's it is:
 Quote:
...On the day my mother-in-law died, an egret landed very close by in a very small pond. A few minutes after Dad died, a chickadee preached on a limb just next to us. I’m not qualified to determine the consequence of these persistent creature-spirit zoomorphic sightings. I do know that they are noticed by my dearest extended family members when beloved souls are recently freed from their bodies...

Thanks
