Loves Tragedy

Love’s tragedy Once I loved a dolphin and kept her in the swimming pool I wore a frogman suit we spent hours splashing about but noticed she was getting sad and missed her own kind If you love someone, you have to set them free I wrapped her in wet blankets and drove her to the beach her family came close to shore, greeting her. I visited the beach every day, and she glad to see me as was her family, who accepted me as one of them. One day when I came for a swim, she wasn’t there the other dolphins came and made clicking sounds looking mournful; something about a ship and a propeller. I never went back to the beach on an Island in Greece it is easier to remember the good times.
