Whispering Elephants.

My teacher gave us three poem titles to choose two from, and we had to write a poem based on the title.

Whispering elephants,
They tip toe along.
But they are still large
And they are still strong.

Whispering giraffes,
They are so very tall.
They chew their leaves quietly,
Towering over us all.

Whispering lions,
They silently guide us-
We let them do so
Without any fuss.

Whispering alligators,
They noiselessly stalk
The prey of their choice-
Like a moose or a hawk.

Whispering fireflies,
They fly by so fast;
Just a flash of light,
And they've flown right past.

Whispering ants,
They work restlessly!
They make the saying
"Busy bee" pure irony.

Whispering children,
They are incredibly loud;
Unintentionally sharing secrets
With all-too-eager crowds.

Whispering people,
They tell us small lies.
They know of their sins-
Yet still, they defy.
