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
