~ this poem expresses my deep spiritual affinity to these gentle giants ~

Listen to poem:
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

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.
