Giraffe Stands Tall

G    golden motifs enamor a brown tapestry 
I      in galore of grace, a head is held high.
R     resplendent glory of the tallest creation 
A     ascending in attitude, seeks a heavenly sky 
F     feeding on forage of leaves beyond reach
F     farsighted big eyes,  browse twigs on trees.
E     emotions all silent, with no sound to screech.                                       

S     stature so lofty, elongated slender neck 
T     towering long legs, gallop free and wild  
A     ambling Savanna plains, predates of lions
N     nose and tongue, both in length reconciled 
D     down to extinction,  their numbers on decrease 
S     strong but enchanting, they are symbols of peace.

T     tangerine patterns, in unique genes installed  
A    'African Gentle Giant' that's how Giraffe is called 
L     lanky  but charming, an evolution of  hybrid soul
L     Leopard spotted coat, perhaps a tall Camel stole!
