Poem Title:
Poem
Smoke bellowed out the top Of the trawler’s ships As the merciless hunters loaded Their harpoons with exploding tips “There she blows,” a sailor shouted It was a female whale that surfaced and spouted The engines roared in hot pursuit The Captain aiming ready to shoot He shoots, it explodes, making a hole in her fin She gasps her last breath as she can no longer swim Her eyes expresses her agony and shock Then close as she passes out and sinks like a rock Divers plunge to secure their with ropes But she is out of reach dashing their hopes Then in the darkness she feels a thump Again and a again under her she feels the bump Her eyes open drowsily to see him struggling to push her up A male dolphin she identifies when he swims close up Endangering his own life he will not go up for air She must breath first as he is overwhelmed with her despair What seemed an eternity she finally surfaces and takes a breath The he surfaces satisfied they both cheated death He swims gently supporting her wounded fin Til they reach the shore of an island call Baralin The water is warm and shallow enough For her to breath where the water’s not too rough He swims out to sea where it’s warm in the south And returns with plankton and kisses her transferring it from his to her mouth Each time he does this, their feels grow strong Of the love between a dolphin and a whale which will be remembered in loves folk song... **For Elizabeth Wesley, Who wanted a poem of a dophin who falls in love with a whale**
