*Flowerr*Hi shaara! Happy Earth Day! *Earth*

*Tree*This is potent poem that evokes sadness and highlights the speaker' experience of bullies as he wonders if giraffes might be laughed at for their differences. What a moving and original way to express the inner feelings of this child.

The voice is consistent and sounds like a child. I could imagine his feelings as he hides in books and cannot see what is so strange that he could be picked on. His comparison to the odd giraffe emphasizes this.

The three verses each of focus one idea and the last verse, where he desires to be "above it all" is realistic as he deams of some relief or that is could be differen than it is. The rhythm is not exact but the thyme is is well done and adds to the pace and flow. I could feel the sad sigh wishful at the end. *Thumbsup*

I think children could relate to this poem on some level and it is a creative way to bring up the topic of bullying, being different for discussion.

Thanks for composing and sharing such a Wonderful poem on this sad and relevant topic. I like how the boy has a knowing at the end that giraffes may not have these negative qualities.The problem is not solved but it is nice to dream.*Starstruck*

Light on the path as you write on!
