I imagine an elephant’s journey on paper
the sun sets on pre-safari day
sharing dirt road with a magnificent beast
look at his ears for a sign
it’s hard not to smile
as John retells the story
“Noah calls
there’s an elephant chasing me
what do I do”?”
RUN!!!

interested in food
dry land crunches beneath feet
no race today
Thanks to my friend John Pipes who so willingly shares his photography. He also tells a fine story – Im sure you’d agree.
This photo is at the entrance to Murchison Falls National Park

Hey Dearie, I like the way you transposed the elephants onto your photo – very nice job! I like the poem contribution, too. I think I’d run if an elephant was chasing me, too. They are such big animals! John’s photograph of the elephant looks a lot like my sketch, isn’t that neat? Thanks for sharing and for visiting my Art Sketching Through the Alphabet with the letter “E” (elephant, eagle, elk)! Have an electric day a2zing!

I love the simplicity of your poetry. Have you heard of African Praise Poems? Our family started doing that for some of our elderly members and it is a moving experience – the poems are kind of like yours.

No I haven’t heard of the African praise poems. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks Shirley for your visit.

My grandmother believed that elephants with their trunks up meant good luck. She used to bring about a half dozen elephant nic-naks with her when she would play bingo. She often won!

Good for her. I always remembered elephants from the circus. Up close in the wild they are one of the ferocious 5.
