Beautiful But Endangered

BEAUTIFUL BUT ENDANGERED I’m a tall lanky, long legged creature, stunning beauty, easily recognized. Body marks separate me from others, that’s why been told … I’m easy on the eyes. Talk about eyes, my beamers not forget, gigantic sultry, sexy bedroom eyes. More alluring behind long thick lashes, extraordinary … no one denies. All the way down neck, flows short full mane, no way competes with lips, soft, luscious, wet. I’m more than looks, I’m an intelligent creature God created … this don’t forget. Like all Creation, I glorify God, as a Giraffe, fear I’ll soon disappear. Beautiful but critically endangered, Is someone listening … does someone hear?

Congratulations on your lovely, poignant poem. Personification now days is on the mediocre, if not outright~crude, while mocking tastefully dressed, intelligently presenting people. I put myself in the gutter early on in life...my wife has always been a fashion plate whose appearance and education have elevated my standards. She taught me the meaning of class, which I bless her for, which has inspired me also to adopt such admirable presentation as my own. While I am still somewhat an ugly duck, I quack far more melodious for my sincere efforts. Blessings my friend.

Joe. Lovely, poignant... OH you mean the poem ..not you? lol Thank you for kind words. Your wife sees you as a creature, a soul created by God, with qualities reflecting God's personality. How could she. not be attracted to you.. Thanks for reading!
