Dear Arthur,
This is very nice as far as it goes, but I don't think it goes very far. I
sense you haven't even broken a sweat here.
Kind regards,
grasshopper

Death in the Park
It rained the day Chokwani died,
all day and well into the night,
bringing new life to the savannah.
His herd drifted, slow grey clouds,
down towards the swelling river,
trunks testing the air, wallowing in the cool.
He sought denser bush
dragged his years in behind him
laid down and wearily breathed the night a while.
Later, before dawn, the clouds cleared
and a full moon lit the grasslands,
the thorn bush and the baobab tree.
