Anchor the Alpaca

Let me tell you

A story so grand

Of an alpaca

And his lovely band.

*

He was an alpaca

With a sweet smile

He is color purple,

Which is a unique style.

*

His name is Anchor.

The clever leader

Of a group of creatures

That grew bigger and bigger.

*

Why bigger you ask?

This group shares three things

They love to eat, hang out,

And utter nonsense things.

*

Back to Anchor,

He is sensible,

Educated, smart, and

All around lovable.

*

Anchor and his friends

Go on adventures

Sharing memories that

Last forever, for sure.

*

Their journeys are

Fantastical, magical,

Ethereal, unreal and

Most of all, unforgettable.

*

Here’s something Anchor

Wants to tell you.

Please do mind that

I may not understand, too.

***

Anchor:

HMMMMM? HMMM! PWAAA

HMMMMMM HM HMMMMM HMMM

PWAAAAA (spits at another intruding alpaca) HM HM HM

HMMMMMMM PWA

Hello there! This is Ina aka loveissourgrapes and I am here to review/comment about lovely Anchor! Finally, a poem about a alpaca of @alpacaboss. He's so cute c:

Now back to the poem. Anchor seems like a good alpaca. Great personality and has great friends too. One day, will you show his friends too? At first, you mention how Anchor is a great leader and why he is a alpaca. Kind of an epic entry! Good job! His group of friends gets bigger and bigger because our lovely Anchor's clever personality. This is my favorite verse:

"Anchor:

HMMMMM? HMMM! PWAAA

HMMMMMM HM HMMMMM HMMM

PWAAAAA (spits at another intruding alpaca) HM HM HM

HMMMMMMM PWA"

Over all, there were some grammatical errors but great poem. Keep on writing [about Anchor]! Have a lovely day/night!

Thank you for your review!
Maybe I may write more about Anchor and his gang of unlikely friends hehe

Maybe I'll look forward to those writings about him and his gang hehe c:
You're welcome!

It's here!! The poem about THE ALPACA! *grins* And this was just as cute as was promised.

I can totally picture a group of purple-blue alpacas hanging out together, eating and mumbling pure nonsense. How cute. It reminds me of those little brown bears in Star Wars. Only, these alpacas I picture as being a little less vicious.

Hm. I don't think I quite understood the hmmms and mmms and all the rest. But I'm sure it was positive...(maybe) or perhaps it was an angry hmmm warning the alpaca near by to move on. Either way, I think I just found a new favorite animal. :)

And as always, I love your alpacas featured above. :) Are they in your herd back at home?

Overall, cute snippet here! Mmmm hmmmm. Yeah. Whatever that means. ;)
-Kaia

YAY glad you like them
1. yes, the purple alpaca is my dear stuffed toy alpaca. he's amazing
2. the MMM's and HMM's are the sounds of an alpaca. DO I understand what they mean? Most of the time....no

Thanks for leaving a review!

Aw, that's so sweet! (Does he have a cousin I could steal away to be mine?)

I figured those were alpaca noises. :) Very clever!!

Sure!

Thanks!

for the cousin, I'll have to ask Anchor

knowing him, Anchor might start rambling in his language about shipping and stuff though HAHAHA

Hm...yeah. I'm not sure we could figure out how much we're supposed to pay.... Oh well...XD

HAHHA I am glad this poem made you interested in alpacas though lol
Have a great day/night/afternoon!
