Marbled by aquamarine depths Under rolling moonlit waves Bellow haunting sonar echoes Heard for miles and miles Melodiously broadcast Wondrous and mystical Their enchanting tales Of travel and adventure Encounters and synchronicities Thru bottomless lengths of seas Graceful magnificent giants Majestic they roam free AP: Honorable Mention 2020, Honorable Mention 2021 Earlier version submitted on October 9, 2017 for contest A POEM, I WROTE AND SENT ADRIFT sponsored by BROKEN WINGS and October 2, 2017 for contest EARLY OCTOBER PREMIERE sponsored by BRIAN STRAND

Delightful tribute to the gentle giants of the sea. I love the lines, "Marbled by aquamarine depths" and "Encounters and synchronicities".

Did this not win in EITHER contest? That is a shame. I think it is a very good description of these magnificent creatures. Well, I hope my sleeping pill kicks in fast. Adieu!!

This poem is one of my favourites. Alas it did not get any visibility. So sad.
