Best Orca Poems
The Beach At Orca Praia Funchal MadeiraThe beach at Orca Praia – Funchal Madeira
The powerful deep blue ocean
Expends its tidal force
Pounding down upon sea pebbles
With thud and smash so coarse
Watching from a vantage point
From the horizon to the shore
The lines of sea swell building up
Growing bigger more and more
Low, rumbling ocean...

OrcaOut of the sea, oh Majestic Prince,
In a spray of foam so green.
Into the air in freedom's dance,
A sight that must be seen.
The Orca leaps into the air
Before our eyes... amazed.
So graceful leaping t'wards the sun.
With joyful hearts, we gazed.
He skims along the ocean green
Then...

OrcaORCA
He erupts from the water
in a triumphant roll, slicing
moist air with his black fins and tail,
disappearing once more in
an explosion of diamonds as salt spray
and sun
He arrives every year when this warm
bay is pregnant, giving birth to new stories
of survival and death
The epitome of...

Orca 2Orca breaches amid
oarfish snaking among
oblivious new pod.
Orcan arching bodies
obscure oarfish slithers
on an unseen loner;
ocean’s oldest secret.

Ocean’s great predator
Of dolphins orca’s prime
One clever hunting pod
Outmanoeuvres its prey
Onslaught starts on signal
Over once flesh devoured

rolling pellucid waves;
pod accompaniment
as arching bodies play.
blowhole sprays celebrate
in random ecstasy;
ocean’s performance art.

Orca Saves PoseidonLightning illuminated who orca saved
It was Poseidon of course
Lean, tanned, muscular, god of the sea
The lesser gods shook with envy
and the sea goddess smiled,
hoping they might be his
chosen tonight.
The azure skies were pleased as was
the black of the water and rhinestone stars
Awed by...

Gliding and leaping through the blue.
Chasing your soul mates protecting your tribe.
Your song is herd for miles deep.
