Orkie a Whales Tale Part 1

Orkie orca lived by the sea
With his mother and Aunt Bea
Up and down the Pacific coast they would roam
Looking for a spot to call their own

Orkie would watch the fishing boats
As they threw out their nets and floats 
If he wanted to swim and play
Away from the nets he would have to stay

He would chase the seals on the waves
Dive down to the underwater caves
He would jump high in the air
He was having so much fun he didn't care

One day Orkie was out for a swim
He hit something with his back fin
He slowly looked back
When he saw something black

Mom, mom come and see what I have found
It seems to be bobbing and making a sound
That Orkie, is called a bouy
You have to leave it alone it is not a toy

You see Orkie they leave it out at sea
So the big boats know just where they should be
It show them if they are close to the shore line
If they don't cross this they will be fine

Thanks for allowing me to smile with this one. It brings back the feeling of childhood imagination. You should share it with some children, I bet they would like it. Thank you also for your kind words regarding my poem. Happy Writing! Karen
