What a lovely and informative poem about the elephant family structure. What a model for human families it could be. It's a shame my own family ties are not strong. But like an elephant, I don't forget. I don't usually care for free verse poetry, but your poem is very beautiful.

Hi,
This free verse poem shows how true family should be. It also shows a lot of research went into it. I agree that elephant family life is a good role model for humans. If the worldwide population worked like an elephant herd/family than this would be a more peaceful world.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Happy Holidays.

We are good at creating our own disasters... we could learn much from Mother Nature but we are too arrogant.
Glad you found my wee poem interesting,
Keep safe !

It did mention what format so I went with a free-style poem with some rhyme here and there.
The gestation is so long to allow the brain to develop sufficiently before birth.
Did you watch the video below ? I'm going to watch "Leon" tomorrow afternoon (biggrin)

Yes. I wasn't complaining. It was a lovely piece. I thought it was you. Your introductions and notes give it away. Lol. Enjoy the film. No women, no kids.

Of course, because I didn't write about my family.
We were strangers most of our lives and I presumed it was supposed to be a poem about LOVE seen in a positive light.
I prefer to talk about animals.
