"I hope you like my poems, here is the story of this skin and I will let him say it by himself..."
Zehmody - The mammoth in winter storm
"Hello, please imagine that you are sitting with me. I will tell you my story."
I have lived in the arctic.
I'm something called mammoth
Likes eating, walking, sleeping
And do other things in North.
And these are my life cycle for many years...
"I'm sitting on the endless snow land in night. I only feel coldness and pains..."
I lived with my family while the sky was getting darker and the winter storm was coming. We were running to the safe place but it was too late. The storm came to us very fast and its sound was getting louder and louder. The wind was very strong and it snowed everywhere. I could not hear any voice from my family except the scream of winter storm. We then lost in the storm.
Next day, I found myself was under the snow. I stood up and looked around and I didn't saw anything except snow. I started to walk. When the sun was in the middle of sky, I saw a group of human walking toward me. They looked tired and they held something very sharp in their hands. They were going to kill me!
Fortunately, they didn't kill me but they tied me with a wooden stump instead. I tried many times to escape from them, the leather ropes hurt me each time I tried to move my legs. Finally, I could escape from them in the night and they didn't notice me. I walked and my blood from rope wound dropped on snow. But I couldn't go far, a saber tooth tiger had been smelt my blood and stared me from the distance. It ran and jumped to my back and tried to kill me, I fought against it. I attacked it with my tusks causing a great damage on its stomach. It then ran away.
"Now I'm walking in the darkness, each step on my feet gives me the pain. The air is getting colder even my bone can feel it. I miss my family... I want to see them again" I'm sad and depressed, so I look to the sky and my tears drop."
The cold wind passed my body.
Stars on the sky were twinging.
I heard voices of the nature
While Northern light was shining.
It was the most beautiful night of my life.
"The northern light makes me feel better. I realize that I'm still alive, I must survive and go to the destination... my family!"
