Enkidu
was a savage.
He was a loving beast.
He couldn’t control himself.
He found himself
wrapped up in love
with Shamhat.
He slowly
approached her.
He did not know what to say.
Shamhat loved him too.
She felt safe with him
even though he was
an animal.
Sent to teach
Gilgamesh about love
and compassion, Enkidu
Saved him from death.
Gilgamesh then knew
the way of life.
Ava, I am so impressed. Enkidu is part animal and you have captured that very well. I think your love of animals helped you to understand the relationship between Enkidu and Shamhat. The last line is very powerful. You have a talent for saying a lot in very few words. That is hard to do. Keep up the good work!
thank you so much mommy.I LOVE YOU! Love, Ava
