WESTON CREEK ACT<br />
Giraffes<br />
Look high<br />
Towards the clouds<br />
Can you see my grand head?<br />
My famous coat on my body?<br />
It’s there.<br />
I’m walking next to you<br />
You feel invisible.<br />
I’m eating high leaves on treetops<br />
You feel beaten.<br />
I’m licking my coat<br />
You feel dirty.<br />
I see the whole land<br />
I stand tall and luminous<br />
My neck trying to stay grand<br />
I see the whole land<br />
My neck feeling like sand<br />
I may be able to see Venus<br />
I see the whole land<br />
I stand tall and luminous.<br />
Judge’s Comment<br />
A clever poem taking us high into the viewpoint of a giraffe, gazing down<br />
at people below and feeling superior. The use of repeated words, phrases<br />
and whole lines is effective.
