Elephant

Crashing through the forest, me,an elephant

Not caring for the humble undergrowth of shrubs and plants

Small animals flee out of my way scared-lest they get trampled

My massive form,massive trunk,winnow-like ears

I haven't any master-- I'm a wild elephant

Uproot trees and munch at their foliage my lunch and dinner

Dieting? No way-- the larger the healthier

Feeling nice-- like a "Raja" in the jungle of minions

Tiny thorns under my gigantic feet seem like small hair

Who cares what the others think ! I have my own way

I am an elephant-- revered by all-- feared by small

Newspaper news"Elephant crushed under train" a sad pic added!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Respected Dear readers..in case you read. To be an elephant is brawny,heavy fun...... Sad for the zoo captives.This is also true(I think) for the heavyweights in the concrete & wood jungle of humans.

There are 'animal rights'---you know, Bishu? There isn't too much people can do about it! Also, the elephant is the sacred animal for many, so between him and the cows...I think we are stuck. ;-D

 

But will we ever be able to find a coffee cup big enough for him?? That may be the real dilemma.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
