Narwhal- Our Life
Known for my large tusk coming from my canine tooth that is protruding,
Sexually attracted to the six years old female though I m thirteen,
Was swimming for predation, saw her chasing my favorite prey from benthic,
She was snatching my flatfish from dense pack of ice in the waters of Arctic,
Whistled in the hot weather, together from bays into the ocean we migrated,
With her I would live for another 40 years till I die, looked at her and vowed,
Summer gone and winter shattered my dreams when sea ice over her froze,
Bearing beautiful calves, came another Narwhal, stared at me, love again rose,
Mated with her in the season spring, sprung a newborn after fourteen months,
Dependent on milk, stays by his mother’s back, my cutie swims by her assistance.
