Elephants

 






I have been composing short poems about elephants today. They are inspired by the video clips I have been making of an elephant in the library. If I go home and find time to cut together movies and make songs for them, they will be posted as pictures below the poems. But if I don't, if I don't, here are simply some poems about elephants!


But maybe you were hoping for something different from today's post.

Maybe you are sad to see poetry.


Maybe you were thinking there would be something here for you today?



Yeah, I know that feeling...





"Elephant Robot"


We had no elephant,

In the library,

So we made one out of steel.


He looks like an elephant,

But doesn't have the feel.



"Crocheted Elephant"


My friend knitted an elephant,

With two small needles,

And all the wool,

He could wheedle.


It's so big it's scary,

The knitted elephant,

But don't worry,

It's benelevant.





"Autumn Elephant"


The Fall elephant,

Is finally here.

Rejoice my friend,

It's that time of year,

Leaves are falling,

On elephant ears.




"Green Elephant"



We put an elephant in charge,

But it made him saucy,

So we exiled him to the pond,

For being bossy.

And when we brought him back,

He was mossy.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
