AN ELEPHANT THAT NEVER FORGETS
(Haiku Poetry)
(Haiku Poetry)
Saw an elephant
Hugged him too tight he felt hurt
He stares at me
Pet an elephant
Feed him too much he felt cramped
Now he stepped back
Guide an elephant
Trained him too fast he felt tired
He walked away. Pained.
He saw me, anguish
He never forgets the pain
The pain I caused him
For the tightest hugs
Because I am excited
To finally see him grow
For feeding him much
To nurture his well being
As I mind his health
For training him fast
To prepare and equipped him
To fight life's journey
He never forgets
Will never forget the pain
And grudges are kept
But never he will
Would remember the values
My actions implore
Because Elephant
Will remain an Elephant
That never forgets
Shuttered
