I thought a flash fiction was longer than this... or is this how a poetic flash fiction appears? Interesting.
I would definitely recommend being still if a giraffe was in the yard!
I would have worded it a little differently, but poetry isn't like novellas, so it looks good to me this way. Good job.

They are adorable aren't they? I guess we'd have to live in Africa to find one in our backyard OR live in California where one of them got out of the animal safari. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

nice, a complete, fun and funny read! I love the photo you used. it would be quite a happy surprise to find a giraffe in your yard, I think, anyway depending on where you lived and if your yard was big enough !

Hey girl, wrong contest. You have a perfectly done 5-7-5 but have it entered in the flash fiction contest. Love the idea of such a sudden surprise. Especially following the news of a lady shooting one for sport

Lol! Did the local zoo have an escapee? I would think that Greyson would love to see a giraffe in the front yard. But then your trees would be in danger. Fun little imaginative poem, Teri!

If there was a giraffe in your front yard, Teri, I suspect he was lost!
This is a fun 5-7-5, and meets all the requirements - very nicely done.

I would certainly be happy with this suprise. I think you wrote an imaginative picture based five seven five. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for sharing your work.

A nineteen foot tall giraffe in your garden! Your poem gave me a giggle. Still, the photo was a beauty and I enjoyed your little poem. Just as well it wasn't an elephant in the lounge-room! Hee, Hee.
