Elephant

ELEPHANT
                                         If I was an animal an elephant I'd be.
                                           They have unforgettable memories.
                                               An elephant never forgets.
                                            Being an elephant is no regret.
                                          If I had to chose an elephant I'd be. 
                                                   Teresa Skyles

Carolyn Devonshire May 20, 2011 at 11:35 AM Very cute entry for the contest, Teresa. In addition to their "memory" powers, elephants always seem like kind and gentle creatures to me. I think they would be a great choice for a new life -- and I believe they also have very long life spans. Enjoyed your poem, dear. Love, Carolyn

Cyndi Macmillan May 18, 2011 at 7:57 PM Hello there, I like this poem...though I sometimes feel I already have an elephant's mind and there are so many things I'd rather forget, if I only could. Still, I like your imagery here. And thank you for your lovely comments on my poem, "I Carry Within Me Hope". You are MOST kind...Warm wishes, Cyndi
