Poem
~The Narwhal Beckons Before Dawn~ If I could sing a song, It wouldn't be just any song. I would sing a song about a fish A fish who is not a fish, but a whale Not just any whale, A Narwhal This night I'll sing a short song of a whale Dancing under the moonlight dusk Swimming with ivory tusk, underwater musk Rising to the morning glory in the sky Communicating with the waves Squealing around, Trilling and clicking supersonic sounds If I could tell you a tale It wouldn't be just any tale I would tell you a tale of a fish A fish who is not a fish, but a whale Not just any whale, A Narwhal Grayish brown, White freckled belly crown Elusive and mysterious Without the Arctic water, I'll get delirious A rare whale, with a tooth for a hoot Enjoying shrimp, squid, and fish food Taking care of the young, I swim in pods all day long I' stay away from what consumes my cod Polar bears, orca whales and native spear My greatest fear and nightmares. If I could share some words It wouldn't be just any words. I would share some words about a fish A fish who is not a fish, but a whale Not just any whale, A Narwhal Deep, down the ocean odyssey My beliefs and skin peel easily With a tear, I drown When called "The Underwater Unicorn" My words are naught more than a sad song I sing A tale of a whale not just any whale, A Narwhal The next time you go out to sea Looking for blubber and ivory Please don't look at me! For I am just a Narwhal And, I belong to the sea ~*~ 09/15/2015 Contest: Any Poem You Ever Wrote NOT For A Contest Sponsor: Broken Wings
