Ocean Players

ghostly beluga whales
shy and discerning
hide out in coves

manatees giggle their secrets
their calves are frisky and open

dolphins swim toward the boats
making friends with everyone

sharks wait for lunch
hoping to catch a whiff of blood

I'm a bleeder, so I try to stay as far away as I can from those sharks. I have been close to the dolphins and whales in the bay off Puerto Vallarta. They love human company.
