Finlay, Age 6, The Bosun's Bite Cafe, Rye Harbour

I asked Finlay about his drawing, as it had caught my eye that the elephant looked like it was walking away, yet we could see his face. 
Finlay smiled and shrugged his shoulders. 
And what's all that between his legs, in red crayon, I asked? 
Poo, giggled Finlay.

Another unique elephant created!

Freya, Age 7, The Bosun's Bite Cafe, Rye Harbour

Freya didn't like this elephant she'd created and had screwed it up. However, knowing that every single elephant, real or drawn, is unique, I asked her to show it to me anyway, which she did - and we decided it should be rescued from being crumpled and ending up in the recycling bin. 
And as you can see, this is a pretty amazing one-of-a-kind elephant… 
just like all the real ones all over the world.



And here's a picture Freya drew of her elephant walking away.
Good perspective and eye for detail, eh?

Found this photo in my old albums… 1960 something… 
that's my hand reaching out to stroke the elephant.

An Elephant Poem

By Noah, Bexley Grammar School in Kent

Wanted for their tusks.
To be made into ivory.
A beautiful substance.
Desired to be jewellery.

The mighty elephant,
Big and strong.
The gracious giants
Stand together in their throng.

The silhouette of tusks, sniffing the musk,
Writhing around in the twilight, the dusk his doom,
The glint of rifle sight
Searching for their target in the failing lights.

That gracious Titan.
The elephant.
Comes crashing to the ground.
Their elegant tusks thrown on the mound.

My Elephant Poem

Every elephant has a right to live!
Lots of elephants are killed for their tusks
Elephants look after each other all the time and become bad when something bad happens.
Please help us save the elephants!
Help Elephant For Elephant by sending in your work, just like I have.
After all, what did the elephants do to deserve death?
Nothing deserves death for the enjoyment of humans.
The people who have the guts to kill the elephants are over ridden with stupidity and are truly evil.

Elephants

By Navadeep Bura

Elegant animals
Live lives and can feel pain,
Enormous in size and shape,
Poached for their beautiful ivory tusks,
Have a life and deserve to live it
Amazing and awesome
Not made for mankind's target pratice
They need our help
Slowly dying, but we can make a difference and help.

Elephant for Elephant

By Thomas Sergeant

Elephants have a life too
Loving creatures that don't deserve to die
Every day over 100 elephants get poached
Pathetic men with no lives slaughter these poor animals endlessly
Hopefully this massacre will end one day
Anticipation: until the day
None of these beats live lives they just have them
Though they still struggle on in hope of liberty
Soon elephants will be no more, unless we put a stop to this once and for all!

Elephants 

By Hawa Gamanga

Extra-ordinary creatures
Loving and compassionate
Exquisite and majestic
Phenomenal and perfect
Heartfelt and heroic
Amazing and abstract
Natural and magnificent
Terrific and excellent
Save these wonderful animals.

Elephant poem

By Ash Hindocha

Elephants, just like humans, have feelings.
Elephants, just like humans, too feel pain.
Elephants, just like humans. are smart.
Elephants, just like humans, have a brain.

The elephants roam free,
Let the innocent animals play,
Let them have freedom,
Let those lovely animals live every day.

Those animals are brutally murdered,
Left in such a gruesome state
It is really disappointing,
36,000 elephants died last year, that is the rate.
Can you believe this?
