Humpback Whale Poems

Gassy globular leap
splendor in chromatic tone
golden brown hues race,
leaping waters of delight.
Beneath prolific waves
A humpback whale
birthing.

A newborn rocked
in mother earth as womb,
discoveries come as sands shift;
The timeless sea has secrets,
she shares with only her offspring.

Which part do you not believe?
That I have a humpback whale in my kitchen or that I found the route to the magical forest?
I do not believe any of that.
Too bad.
Why?
I was going to invite you to come see it.
Really?
Sure.

I sat in a boat on the sea
Feeling blissfully happy and free
My eyelids were drooping
And shoulders were stooping
The last thing I saw was the quay.

Imagine when, to my surprise
There appeared right in front of my eyes
A blue humpback whale
Who was...Read More

OFFICE POLITICS OF A HUMPBACK WHALE

I can think of so many words to call that bitch!
But I’m better than that, so I’ll just stick with bitch!

All the money in the world won’t make her nice,
It won’t give her friends as...Read More

"The Opera Singer"


“We’re all alone on the stage tonight”…
The acoustics in the empty room
were clear and light
the night was heavy
dripping wet and stormy
Operatic notes, flute, bassoon,
viola, violins, the strings
her mind, the tightrope she walks on
while she sings
Mezzo-soprano
then Contralto soft and...Read More

What is the difference between a digger, a forklift truck, a spoon, and a toaster? None. Bread slices can be carried by forklifts and bread can be dug by a digger particularly if ground. The toaster itself is a very...Read More

A back flipping coconut is very very amusing at a ball but ball pits are moving around so one must surely wear wellingtons or a pair of anglers' waders when jumping across such multicoloured curves. Harp no more sang to...Read More

 Sailboat afloat on a journey of light
 Seagulls take wing, navigators in flight
 The sun is a timepiece, seconds in the sand
 The clock tells no time, it's missing a hand
 
 The wind is a dancer, to the...Read More

(All right you scallywags of questionable seaworthiness, we begin with an up-tempo step-liveliness.)

Send him aloft, high into the crow's nest,
He'll keep watch with his keen young sight.
Let me out, the wind is a-freshenin',
Roll me up in the middle of the...Read More

Being environmentalist scuba diver's
we ferried our boat out east of the Farallon Islands,
in the waters by the Golden Gate Bridge we ended up scuba diving,
awestruck by the great humpback whale entangled in the quagmire,

Noticing she was bogged down by 100s...Read More

Dreams On The High Seas

I dare reach my dreams on the high seas
Calm sea sweet is the night air
High tide with the heightening of the full moon
Wearing its payne’s gray watercolor skies
Laced with glimmering constellation stars
On this vast universe that...Read More

As I leap and splash abound
The crash of water with all its sound
It was you and who you found
Dying with a large net all wrapped around

You with your family came to my aid
Just as you would have also prayed
So gentle...Read More

One wardrobe malfunction
was a blast, a kill;
undressing imagination.
I was ready for an ambush.

Like boa’s grip, entwined, strangulating,
hardly breathing. I am in blue water
like a humpback whale;
donot go for the revenge.

It was not the fabric of flesh
hair and bones. I was...Read More
