Reading Pleasure 
It’s interesting to me that after reading this I get the impression camels have been spiritually hiding the presence of Christ and Saint Nicholas in their humps all along by carrying “living waters” enfused with the “essence of life” inside the humps on their back, which were a clever disguise by God using the skin off his back to create a protect shell for his twin sons. I also get the impression it’s almost time to skin the hump and let the cat out of the bag, so to speak.
I know I am crazily weird, but I want to thank you for inspiring my weird thoughts because I do sincerely enjoy having them, which makes your pieces an extreme pleasure to read.
I like the way your thoughts wander and roam!
Me too, MMT. 🙂
I love your brand of weirdness. Weird on, Alura.
I agree Annie. 🙂
Exploring Alura, your ‘weird’ thoughts really fascinate me. I’m glad this haiku has inspired such original thoughts. Simply great my dear.
Always a pleasure to have you here. 🙂
Amazing. Is there a giraffe in your stars?
Sure there is is. 🙂
Wow Cameloparadalis is a great word.
It is, Gemma and so new to me. 🙂

The height of a graceful Giraffe can truly romance the stars.
Exactly Stella. 🙂
