The Beauty Of Camel Poem by ONElia AVElar
The Beauty Of Camel
The beauty of the camel
seen only
in the desert,
where the humped back
of dromedary simply follows
the mild curves of the dunes;
while in its regal gait
you get assurance, that both of you
can gain access to the oasis' gate;
where life, reduced to essentials,
holds in esteem
the Survivors.
Sofia, the 7th of 2008
a beautiful poem, simply and clear, even i've never been on a back of a camel i can see the beauty on it now.
'where the humped back of dromedary simply follows the mild curves of the dunes; ' this is a strikingly simple yet incredibly effective image. An oasis of thought, observation and reflection here Onelia. j xx
a hopeful tone there... right thru the sweltering desrt of life one will find the oasis minus the strife
A nice poem with nice imagery. I like the last stanza, amazing.10.
Now that I know you that little bit more, I see this poem as the backdropp to your favourite film. The sensuality of the sand-dunes mirroring the curves of the woman's body.... (to me anyway) . Love it! HG: -) xx
ther's something visibly pathetic about these camels...unfortunately i couldn't see them in their natural habitat. i saw them dotting the urban landscape of jaipur...
Camels are designed for functionality. They do their job efficiently Although they are not beautiful You must admit they are useful. when you are trying to survive Their ugliness you can forgive
camel is nature's own complex expression of its simple environment; Onelia paints it with compassion. Rgds, Ivan

Strinking a painting for survival..it is the value of staying alife, with the basic essentials. On the back of the camel you praise the unnoticed value of life. Thanks Onelia. Very good piece (reminds me my poem 'The salmon's return') . I give you a 10. Call me on the back of your camel, and I will come to travel all three of us (you me and our camel) .
