If it’s color you want,
we rule. Look at us,
a pool of colored
waters, a collage
of nature’s finest.
We blend. We complement
each other. Stripes,
splotches, spots, feathers
with tiny dots. Few of us
are only black or white.
Orange, russet, yellow,
and my elephant pal
in wrinkled steel gray,
whites tusks shining.
If it’s color you want,
we rule.

    Very upbeat and compliments the image. A totally different take to mine.
