Giraffe at the watering hole
She splays her forelegs one at a time
levering, leaving dignity
behind, easing down to a
half sideways split; then bends
to drink, hoping no
lion arrives
blood-blushing
head rush
up
The giraffe
Under the trees
Dwarfing the trees

The black giraffe
With the orange and silver spots
Looked up at his mum with a frown,
Is it OK that I look
A little bit strange?
Have you heard what the other ones do say?
His mum looked down
With kindness in her eyes
And glanced at his odd looking skin,
My love, you are beautiful
Your skin is the night sky
A blanket of stars to light our way,
Why look like all the rest,
When your skin holds the sun close by
And is best friends with moon up on high?
Little one
You must dare to be different I say
Walk away from those that are mean
For you will gallop from star to star
Sing rings around the planets afar
You will dance with the very best,
See yourself with my eyes my dear
If only you knew what I knew
Face your life with courage
Don't be afraid of who you are.
The Giraffe is very tall
As tall as he could be
If it wasn't for his neck
He'd be quite short you see
Long necked babe and able,
A slippery tongue creature fable,
She enjoyed when being fed,
And does not distinguish blue from red,
Just swallows, eats, and licks the hand,
Like a closer buddy friend,
If you have food in a bag and hand,
They all come in sequence bow and bend,
To grasp their share,
They like to freely borrow but not to lend,
A closer look at them,
And when they get what they want in the end,
They disappear without fear,
How selfish of them my friend!
April the giraffe’s live feed is all the rage,
Every day we hope to see the birth engaged.
Where oh where can the new baby be?
Is this a fake pregnancy that we see?
A new baby giraffe is what we all want,
But April is in no hurry and nonchalant.
Maybe the blessed event will be this week.
The world is all dying for that first peek.
Written 3/31/17
There was a giraffe in a zoo
Named April, and she ate for two.
For, pregnant she was-
Spectators abuzz!
And soon little hooves peaked right through!
In minutes he fell to the ground-
So perfectly healthy and sound!
His mom cleaned him well-
He stood- and then fell.
But soon he was walking around.
Though she and the Vet got along
Took care of her well all year long-
But touching her calf-
Scared mama giraffe
To kick him where kicks don't belong!
A mom is as fierce as can be
When guarding her new-born, you see
Although there is trust-
Hands-off is a must!
The price you will pay, can't foresee!

Giraffe long thick neck
Strong muscles varied uses..
Battle ready males

Just a normal Sunday sitting on my chair
When all of sudden in walked my auntie uncle Claire
What the hell you doing barging in like that??
He said your not going fu**ing believe it? I just ran over your Cat
I said the only pussy in this house is my other half,
We played a few drinking games and i beat him at charades
He soon ad enough of that tho so i pulled out deck cards then he stared moaning reckon the games i play are hard.
Well i had enough of his lip i couldn't take no more
so rubbed his face on cheese grater and now hes bloody sore.
Great are the savannahs
It's amazing to see them
Right where you always roam
Always in search of food
From the treetops you look down
Far and wide is your sight
Every step you take is tall
So much taller than I
I have a long neck like a giraffe.
When people see me, they laugh.
My neck makes me twelve feet tall.
I actually make Goliath look small.
People's laughter no longer bothers me.
But I do get mad when people think that I eat the leaves on trees.
As I walk down the street, everybody always takes a peek.
I've kicked people's asses because they called me a freak.
I demand respect because I'm a member of the Human Race.
My neck is so damn long that it can be seen from outer space.
Some people actually think that I am a giraffe, you may too.
Just remember that I'll kick your ass if you try to put me in a zoo.
(This is a fictional poem)
Giraffe long slender
Neck, with a long black tongue
Cleans baby squirrel
Giraffe long slim neck
Giant black tongue eats leaves
Beautiful design
Reticulated brown
Outlined in black background of white
Fights like a tiger
