James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Through the Eyes of a Whale

The journey of me
Your about to read
Migration of we
To rich grounds to feed
 
Vast waters
Gifted of blue
Humpback and right
My cousins true
 
In hunger dive
After giant squid
To the darken deep
On our sonar grid
 
Feasted, fed
Shadows appear
Orca pod
Our calves i fear
 
We adults encircle
To protect the young
Flick of our tail flukes
Orca's, in wave like flung
 
Danger over
Migration on track
To my left
An awesome humpback
 
We swim together
Grand beasts of the sea
Species of ilk
In total agree
 
Our sonar detects
That the water were in
For the many months
Of journey swim
 
For one third of a year
In our holiday home
Me and my cousins
Our freedom to roam

August 14, 2009 at 5:53 PM Whales are such fascinating creatures to me. "Grand beasts of the sea" is such an apt description. Nice use of personification. Keep on writing! Karen

Sara Kendrick August 14, 2009 at 3:34 PM Never seen them up close and personal like I have dolphins. They are beautiful. We have the Wright whale off the coast of Georgia at times but have never seen them up close and personal. I like the way you told your poem story. Keep writing. Sara

Carolyn Devonshire August 14, 2009 at 2:01 PM Wow! Your love for whales comes through so well, James, and you employ great personification in this delightful write. I guess whales are much like humans, encircling "to protect the young." They are magical creatures to be sure and I feel as though I just had the pleasure of joining them on their "journey swim." Brilliant! Love, Carolyn
