A Sight To See

The water from the blow hole spewed.
     It’s hard to believe what then ensued.
             With his powerful tail and massive speed,
The great humpback whale’s breaching was awesome to see.

Dear Bill, your thrilling rhyming verse captures the majesty of the humpback whale's breach with admiration and poetic finesse. You honor both Nature and the whale with your wonderful poem. Warmest wishes, my poet friend in Texas.. ~Susan
