An Ode to Llamas in 12 Lines

I love our llamas so dang much.

They also love each other like crazy.
Llama babies are the cutest. They’re called crias. 
Or sweet potato pies.

Llamas are faster than cheetahs who drink espresso.

They stare at you.

Sometimes incessantly, unnervingly.

They are suckers for metal buckets of sweet grain.

Other times they explore dark, mysterious places 
like cracked open barn doors.

Llamas are natural; llamas are good.

Not everybody has ’em…

But everybody should!

I love our llamas so dang much.

Linking up today with the very sweet and clever Mama Kat… enjoying the prompt to write a blog post in just twelve lines.

  1. I started singing the last lines before I even realized that is where you were going with it!!! Awesome llamas!! Love them!!

  2. Llamas are natural; llamas are good.
    Not everybody has them; but everybody should.

    Oh, my gosh something in this poetry struck my funny bone and I cannot stop laughing! It couldn’t have anything to do with the accompanying photo of the smiling llama with his head slightly tilted at a jaunty angle! This was so fun.

  3. I have a friend who raises llamas, and they are just so, so cuddly looking. I want to have some in my yard. Think anyone would notice?
