ADDO ELEPHANT PARK ~ SOUTH AFRICA ~ AWESOME !
E ELEPHANTS are very elegant creature slow and gentle
L LOVELY to see close up in the ADDO ELEPHANT PARK in Port
E ELIZABETH in South Africa you can see about 40 in a group !
P PRECIOUS IVORY is one reason why they are illegally killed
H HUNTERS kill these awesome creatures ~ remove their tusks
A ND just leave them to rot. Even CHINA has now made IVORY illegal
N NOBODY should purchase objects carved from fresh ivory ~ OK
T THANKS to trade embargoes on Ivory ~ poaching is slowing down.
S SEATED high up on an Elephant you feel like a MAHARAJAH !
Thanks for visiting ~ Comments welcome ~ Love to ALL ~ BRIAN XOX
ELEPHANTS in the Great British Circus and in UK Zoos are very well
treated and there are breeding programmes. What are your views ?
These are the only places (and Safari Parks) most people get a chance
to see and ride on ~ a live ELEPHANT. Comments welcome ~ BRIAN.

- Comment from author about the poem: In the UK ~ Wild Animals in ZOOS ~ Circuses and Safari Parks are very well treated. I think (as a Biologist) it gives children and adults an opportunity to meet Elephants and other non-European speciea of Animals. WE also have Breeding Programmes in the UK for endangered species. Please support the WORLD WILDLIFE FUND (WWF). Thanks for reading ~ please comment ~ BRIAN XOX

Great write, poachers must be stopped
Thanks TONY ~ They should wait until the Elephants die ~ the IVORY is still in good condition ! The Poachers should be poached in boiling water ! BRIAN
I agree
I think its wonderful what the zoos do for them. Anything and everything must be done to get poaching stopped. Wonderful acrostic, Brian. Hugs in spirit-Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ I am pleased you support the work of the ZOOS. The Zoos and Aquaria I have visited in the USA are also very humane ! Thanks for your comment ~ Hugs in the Spirit ~ BRIAN.
we must protect all wild life!
another great and informative work
Thanks WILLY ~ I like to read and write poems about animals ~ Yours BRIAN
There used to be huge elephant hunts in the 1800's and early 1900's with tons of ivory taken. One of our presidents was famous for this. He became know as Teddy Bear. A better name would have been Elephant killer. Nicely done.
YES INDEED "A" TEDDY ROOSEVELT (HIS Niece was Eleanor Roosevelt) was an Accidental President and a great Conservationist and formed the first National Park in the USA. Like many in his generation ~ he loved to shoot wild game ~ we know better tosy ~ Yours BRIAN
i love this, I love how you layed this poem out. So unique!
Thanks KJ # pleased your liked the Structure and the Subject ~ Elephants are awesome ! The great thing about ACROSTICS is that the number of letters in the WORD(S) ~ in his case EIGHT ~ which puts a limit on the number of lines in the POEM ~ This also gives the POEM a completeness. The only problem is finding the right INITIAL / WORD to start each line to make up the title word ! Thanks BRIAN
Looks like you did a terrific job there Brian! Yeah i can imagine it must of been abit difficult to find the right words etc but the more practice the more easier it would get! Keep up the good work! Looking forward to reading more!
