Two Dolphins

two dolphins swimming -
an endless sea before them -
frolick in rhythmic waves
as they leap up to catch sun’s rays

splendid torpedo bodies
glide gracefully along
as their world mirrors blue sky. . . . 
poetry flowing

I really like this one, Andrea, and enjoyed reading it again as I prepare for my fishing trip. I'm sure you'll come up with something great for the "card" contest. Let me know when it's posted, okay? You might also think about the Goliath Grouper. (hint) Love, Carolyn

"in twilight thought" is just a little piece I wrote after all my birthday wonders over the weekend.. the quotation marks are at the top for the title not in the body of the poem ..I like them since we cannot use them in the titles when posting any more.. appreciate your great comments.. Ron and I are two dolphins too luv..

Poetry flowing indeed...a splendid write, Andrea! My wife is convinced that she was a dolphin in a previous life. Makes a refreshing change from all these people who are convinced they were kings or princesses, or some such! I think I was a fly on the rear end of a horse...not much has changed, I guess...lol! Good luck in the contest! Robert.
