Swims faster than a cheetah
Wearing costume fins;
So I'll do my best, knowing

a dolphin i hardly knew

a pot of jellyfish stew

a seahorse swims by

a beer barreled pie

a deep sea fish barbecue.

Summer Swimming Pool

Deep end diving; shallow end Fear.
Barbecue host and nobody near.
Crystal, shimmering; fish to eat. . .
Lounge chair Dolphin wets her feet.


Wonder

Were I bird so high I would fly
Were I dolphin how fast would I swim
Were I a horse how far would I roam
But human am I so what will I do?

At last researchers can reveal
Bottlenose dolphins love to squeal
They enjoy each day
Promiscuous play
That smile on their face is for real!

Dripping Dry
It’s fun not
to lie,
Dishes are done

Dolphin

Swim as you are king
flying quickly in thick air
gliding slowly to the depths
all fish observant
silver knight fight your dragon

playful dolphins popped out of lake
frolicking like sixties Chip and Dale cartoons
Bringing a smile to my face
adding a new kind of joy to sundown at the lake

Premium Member Animal Dolphin

A guide and protector -
I’m a soul connector
and your pain is known to me.
From mates I rarely stray;
in waves I love to play.
Join me! Find joy in the sea.

Premium Member Philosophical Questions

Is a barber or scissors the snipper?
A shoeless man, or sock, the slipper?
Why was mom, not a housewife, but a stripper?
You may as well ask a dolphin - Flipper?

I Got a Dolphin, I Don'T Need a Ride

Leave me behind I don't need a crowd
nor synthetic sounds that are too loud 
Drop me off at the shore by the seaside   
I will climb a dolphin, don't need a ride

Premium Member Honoring Dolphin Island

dolphin shaped island
under a turquoise sky
calm and serene
you honor my soul dream
playful thoughts enter my mind
I want to dance from your head to your flippers

Limerick 2

A bird flew beyond the ridges,
In search of prey beneath the bridges.
'Hello', the dolphin greeted her,
But she ignored cos of her task.
She'd returned now with no riches!

Spinners -Haiku-

They spin in mid air
out of the water they come
cool looking dolphins.

Premium Member I am a kindred dolphin

dazzling frothy dolphin dives in dual dynamic with daughter
I marvel at their beauty, and their diving prowess
They astound, astonish, delight and disarm me
I feel one with them, a kindred dolphin

My Overflowing Bathroom

I fished in the sink for a cod
and landed a whole dolphin pod;
the bath and the loo
were full of them too -
but whales were too much for the rod...

Premium Member race between cow and dolphin

Dolphin is winning it! The Picklemeister said.
You are crazy! Cow is right up there, way ahead!
Racing to the finish with a final enormous bound.
Spectators so enthralled, they did not make a sound.

Fish's Death-Like Vision

Death's otherworldly vision
Re-emerges here.
Fish-eyed. No water realm's
Weighed for atmosphere!

Dazzles; lit, tunnel-like
A-swish and a-swirl.
Upwards where briefly, dolphin
Infused of joy-whirl.

Color me azurite; Malachite isles upon Lapis blue seas. I sail the waves, moved by Gaia’s tranquil, reverberating song. On the horizon, dolphin arcs play; brother sun laughs.

Shore To Rise

fiery sun
emerges
from dark sea

seashells
scattered about
litter the beach

as dolphins tumble
in capped waves
tips of white froth
caress gray sand 

lone footprints
fade
