Hope

Hope is a camel, 

plodding patiently through

the desert on slender legs,

never stopping, never tiring.

 

It may look gawky

and awkward and frail,

but it is strong enough to carry

the entire world on its back.

 

It stores everything

it needs inside itself.

It can survive 

with almost nothing.

This poem was written for a class assignment where we had to pick an emotion and compare it to some type of animal.
