Lovely image, Alexis, giving us readers room to ponder (what all those people on that boat sailing by are doing/thinking...). Nicely done haiku! :) gw

Hi Alexis, Love dolphins, always see then when we go on holiday to the North Coast of Durban. Haven't heard from you in a while - concerned - hope all is well. Poetry hugs, Jenny
