Looking Up To The Giraffe

by LisaMay


With height that tall, you oversee all.
Such a sight… I’m amazed a lot
by what you’ve got. I just stare;
no one else can compare.
Soon I hope to see
your mystery.
You truly
hit the
spot.

 



Animal Nonet writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
Write a nonet poem about your favourite animal.


Note:
To 'hit the spot' is an English idiom meaning to be exactly right, to succeed in providing satisfaction. I am also referencing the giraffe's eye-catching spotted coat.

Giraffes have fascinated me for a long time. I was recently able to feed one at a zoo. They have blue tongues! The colouring provides built in sunscreen, keeping their tongues from getting burnt in the hot African sun when they browse on leaves and buds from treetops.
