Orkie a Whales Tale Part 2

Another day Orkie went out for a swim Around the inlet rim It was blowing , the beginning of a gale When he ran into another pod of whales They started to sing a song That came through the water loud and long Orkie tried to answer their call But to this pod his voice sounded very small They said a storm was beginning to brew And this inlet was safe they knew All of sudden up came mom and Aunt Bea To check out this pod and whom they would be It was a pod that roamed the same coast One that mom and Aunt Bea knew the most They were very large in number And decided to stop and have a slumber They sang a different song That is how they understood and got along You see they belong to a different pod Now Orkie understood and gave a nod Each pod sang their own song So they knew to whom they belong Their voice can travel on the waves Even to the deep underwater caves But some are called transient whales And they have many good tales They roam the oceans of the earth All their life right from birth

this would make a good children's book story, with illustrations of the pods and things about whales. It's nice how you incorporate your knowledge of the this great animal into the poetic tales of Orkie/ well, I have been here over two hours. so it's about time to jump off this ship for the night!!

Great write about whales that is like personification in that expressing their different sounds that distinguishes them from other pods or families...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
