Premium Member Humpback Whales At Sea
Clicks, whistles and pulsed calls coming from whales you can't see Within the compounds, no walls only ocean water and Captain Lee Sonograms and ultrasounds, its a joy when whale voices are heard !

Pink skies infest the starry dark. Pest sprays reject the fireflies’ spark. Bald eagles chopped by green windmills. Right whales lie beached as sonar kills. Rage that I can no longer view, Bids my sense of wonder adieux....

Sperm Whales From this Tuesday until I die sperm whales will no longer secrete the waxy stuff used in producing make-up. That’s why all the make-up wearers are no longer talking to sperm whales. ...

After the Poetry Recital, Saving the Whales!
After the Poetry Recital by Michael R. Burch Later there’ll be talk of saving whales over racks of lamb and flambéed snails. Hell-Bound Hounds by Michael R. Burch We have five dogs and every one’s a sinner! I swear it’s true—they’ll steal each other’s dinner! They’ll hump before they’re married. That’s unlawful! They’ll even screw in public. Eek, so awful! And when it’s time for...

What happens when someone falls out of love? Is there a single, frozen in amber, sanctimonious moment when you decide you’re too good for whomever - the falling-out moment - where imperfections are revealed like a magic trick? “Huh,” you find yourself saying, “Weren’t you cuter, half-an-hour ago? Or is it a slow, drip, drip, drip Chinese-water-torture-like seepage? Maybe breakups are...

Jonah and the whales
Jonah, praying in the great fish, with putrid slime on red eyelids, has the sudden faith of near death - sings on the beach, fish-vomit in his beard. Whale-songs drift, doubts echo, luring a pod to sand spits where waves throw up bones. ...

Beneath the sun-kissed sky of Coastal California's domain, Where Pacific waves meet the land, an eternal refrain. Golden shores stretch along the rugged terrain, A canvas painted with nature's utmost pertain. Majestic cliffs rise with stoic grace, Overlooking the ocean's vast embrace. Seagulls glide on the breeze, a ballet in the air with grace As the salty mist weaves tales without balance. Beneath...

Premium Member Whales Take Four
"Whales take four fish to water's edge"... a crossword clue that I abandoned. Instead I have returned to knitting a blue jumper. I might add whales to it for fun. They may well take fish to water's edge, but no one will know this except me....

Seed, Environment, Universe
I If you accept your environment You become the universe too Much as fish and whale do One cannot talk of a marine creature Its zest, zeal, lust for life and vim If you have fished it out of water A fish eats, drinks, lives its sea-universe - Whales never abuse oceans because of their size! II If I fully identify with earth and cosmos I...

Why does the mind love those fanciful tales of firey dragons and great dancing whales? Easier to digest spurious tales gone awry than to taste sweetness of questioning why. January 27, 2022 Bite Size Poem #34 by Line Gauthier...

Premium Member While Watching Whales Sleep
I love watching whales sleep…it is one of nature’s wonderful adaptations… how they’re able to sleep while floating in the water…in a kind of suspended animation. I love how we are alike in many ways to our colossal companions of the deep… but in particular…in the peaceful way our two species sleep. Sleep is where our dreams come to...
