A gentle giant I believed you were

With your large, long furry legs

And sharp tusks that curved

Like the crescent of forgotten moons.

Your beautiful, lengthy hair

Covered you like a blanket,

Keeping the warmth within your heart.

A mighty trunk hung near your tusks, it

Breathed the cold breeze you so often walked through.

It’s a shame such a strong, gentle creature

Will forever be trapped in the memory of ice

Never to be unthawed.
