Short Porpoises Poems

Persnickety porcupine are you a rodent then?
Are those quills at the end of your tiny chin-chin?
To the ocean, have you ever travelled or been?
Swimming with porpoises next to your prickly skin?...

natural wonders
are seldom too expensive
pretty seashells found

porpoises playing
flocks of gulls in formation
whitecaps rolling in

pieces of driftwood
dunes replete with palmetto
footprints in the sand

Listen to poem:

twelve hours half a day--CQ

night surrenders
saffron sky delves
import tortoise
export fledglings

sand crabs popout
penguins waddle
porpoises play
zenith star slips

Listen to poem:

Precariously poised on 
the precipitous precipice,
I pondered whether a nose-dive plummet
into the whirlpool lagoon below
was prudent, well-advised and provident.
But the angry impassive persona,
of the ever so cross porpoises,
seen purposefully prancing there
gawking up at me,
persuaded me to prudently,

Deep blue sea mammals 
Cetaceans so grand
Its hard to believe
They originated on land
 
Dolphins, porpoises
Our many Whales
What ever size
Beautiful in sail
 
Toothed and baleen
Identifies them
Plankton feeders
Echolocation gems
 
To stop the hunting
It's a must
Protect the whales
In us they trust
 
To have a world 
Where the whales have gone
All other species will think
It won't be long


" This poem is for Karen O' Leary and all other whale lovers "...
