Hunchback Whales

Amongst idle clouds tis by
stealthy through labyrinth sky.
Voyaging ships crowd caught sight
hunchback whales' rare eyes delight.

Steel blue wind-driven waves rise;
playground for three gray whales’ cries.
They breach, slap the cold waters
delight, rough surface shatters.

Eve, if you are not standing on a ship watching whales at this very second, I will eat my desk. Or if you were not standing on a ship at the very second you wrote this. Well done indeed! I feel like I saw those whales now.
