Danny Derden Poet Verse

Animal Elephant

Behemoth, dust-born grace
Gentle wisdom’s own face
Savannah’s ivory dusks
Rhythm of moonlit tusks
Beckoning our worship
And lifting Mother Earth up

Duke Beaufort September 22, 2025 at 4:31 AM Danny, elephants are smart and dedicated creatures...gentle wisdom usually. Not so easy to emulate those qualities, though some claim these creatures as their symbol. Very ironic that! Smiles!! Danny Derden September 22, 2025 at 1:59 PM I have a collection of Elephant figurines...237 at last count. My wife insists that is enough...we'll see.
