I met a giraffe and was stumbled by sight
The giant looked gorgeous and standing upright
Was proud of freedom to witness my eyes
Enjoying his features then got hypnotized
By lashes not moving and mask of my face
I patted his ears and fed him with grapes…
I doubt he'd ever though tried them before
He finished them all in a gulp in one go…
And leaned his long neck to the earth with all might
Being tired of loneliness matching his height…
A song to a tired giraffe...

He is not a "poor thing", but an absolutely happy one, having eaten grapes and having been patted.
It's a very nice poetic sketch written in perfect English, where the author creates a visual picture with warm emotional colouring. Quite a pleasure to read.
Am I right, that you're a rare guest at your page, Oxana? If you happen to visit it and have enough time, please, have a look at the poem "Breast-breaking sorrow..." written by me recently. I would be happy to learn your opinion http://www.stihi.ru/2012/09/24/933
Hope to hear from you soon,
