Narwhal and a Narwhal-Contest

Narwhal And A Narwhal Saw the caption of a narwhal and reflected over it A room for warrior community of north India in poesy? Was intrigued by the chosen name yet slept over it It remained there like my mocking mirror Tweaking me to gear up to put on my armour Held my quilled sword charted out my action plan Learnt what a narwhal is, its modus operandi of survival Its images made me burst into a gregarious laughter Its poems created a ripple of sorts to tickle my bones Narwhal and a narwhal for sure are clones! One in the Arctic and the other in Asia One underwater and the other on earth One looks like a whale the other a whale of a heart The arctic has a toothy tusk grown out of head The asian has a tusky sword round his waist The tusk dives deep into frozen water The sword dives deep into the betrayer Both the clan protectors live in pods Attuned to honest truths and energised in empathy A smooth exterior unless the hierarchical swords are clanging A unicorn and a grower of corn gormandize on fishy delights The mythical spirit and the earthly spirit Embody healing power and if unloved These loveless souls die in captivity October 8, 2015 Contest: Impress Me With A Narwhal Poem Sponsor: Skat A Ninth

Thanks for the Narwhal invite! What's the dress code? Only smiles? Lol! Skat, I for sure wasn't expecting a win. Thanks! I have the uncanny knack of going offstream which has always docked me. I'm glad you have a broader vision!Love, Balveen

Nicely done, Balveen. I had to research this topic because I truly did not know much at all about this fascinating species.

I did that too. Andrea! I hadn't even heard of it. I only know of Narwhals as one of the sikh communities! Anyway it was fun! Love, Balveen
