An Old Elephant

an old elephant
                                           hurts of experiences  
                                          whole body proves life 

                                           in expanse of mind
                                        uproar ends in quietude
                                             memories of life 

                                          now alone on street 
                                      nothing's to be carried on 
                                            except ancestors

So beautiful. Elephants intrigue me for their very human way they love and feel emotion. I sense sorrow in your words yet they are lovely and rich with meaning. many blessings to you :-) lynn

Elephants are one of my favorite creatures ever. You made this poem not only intriguing, but somewhat mysterious and witty. Good write that deserves a 7/7. -JWE
