They are beautiful creatures. They look like they could be related to camels. I wonder how much the fleece goes for. I like how you've presented these unique creatures to us. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

They are cousins of the camels. Glad you noticed the likeness! Thanks for the nice review.

"Alpacas of the Andes", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. To me, this is a six, but I've run our of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Alpacas are gentle and truly beautiful animals, a fitting subject for poetry. Yes, she (or he) is definitely wanted for "her body," but I hope they're always treated with love, wherever they find a home. It doesn't surprise that royalty would prefer to dress in clothing made of their fleece. Great poem and photo.

Nice rhythm in this nonet entry about alpacas. Our daughter/law and their kids would like to raise those - however, they have so many animals now, - and they'd have to build long fences.
Enjoyed the poem

A very well-written animal nonet about the unique alpace of the Andes who not only have a beautiful face but her fleece is required and adored by Royalty.

This is lovely... I was a bit taken off track, though, when you switched the POV from first person singular (I am more than just a pretty face) to third person plural (Alpacas from the Andes were valued for their fleece) and then, to third person singular (it was the choice...). Fixing this might mess with the word count of each line, but I am confident you can revise this while preserving that word count. Good luck!
