The Odd Elephant

After a long day

the lonely elephant

Had nowhere to stay

But he didn’t care


He sat in an open space

To gather his thoughts

With an emotionless face

He listened to the wind

And smelled the fresh, oxygen full, apple green trees


He closed his eyes

He wanted to focus on himself

All the thoughts raced his mind

He asked himself

Why am I so lonely?

The task was to choose a random art piece in the art gallery and write a poem about it. My picture was a vlue elephant sitting down alone staring at a flower.
