Thank you so much, Tania! So excited to win your contest! So glad that you shared in my joy and happiness, watching a humpback breach (in Alaska waters). I am happy that I was able to give the experience justice in this bitty haiku. Thanks, again!

Cleverly crafted Haiku, those humpback whales are a species of baleen whale with a distinctive body shape. Enjoyed this Haiku, dear Kim. Kindest regards

I did and it was unexpected. One of the most exciting moments of my life. Happened in Alaska on a whaling tour! Made me so in love with humpbacks!
