Wind Wonderful Whales Wild wonderful whales wandering the wet welcome waters of the Pacific Enough of you we can’t seem to get Each sighting a little fête. What do you think when the little boats full of tourists speed toward you from all directions as if there’s some emergency, when all they want are a few moments communion with your majesty, to lay their eyes upon the body of the queen of the sea, to see you skin shimmering in the morning sun. Wild wonderful whales wandering the wet welcome waters of the Pacific Enough of you we can’t seem to get Each sighting a little fête. Do you sense our delight when you jump with all your might? Such an amazing sight! You are so grand, we can see you from land up here on our balcony where we stand, drawn like magnets to your magnificence. Wild wonderful whales wandering the wet welcome waters of the Pacific Enough of you we can’t seem to get Each sighting a little fête. It’s as if you can hear our oohi-ng and ahh-ing carrying from way up here a joyful song floating from afar. A spray to get our attention, a breach to show off your size, bigger than the little tourist boats gathered up along side you, a great jump – and a splash your big black back crashing into the deep blue sea, white water shooting like fireworks in a summer sky. Wild wonderful whales wandering the wet welcome waters of the Pacific Enough of you we can’t seem to get Each sighting a little fête.
Oops! I decided there was one more poem I want to share from my Gathering at the Sea collection, written in January 2021. This poem is about one of our big delights when whiling away the days in sunny San Agustinillo. Below, you can find other poems from my little collection previously posted here, along with a bonus photo:
Many of these poems, including wild wonderful whales, are part of an online collection I call Little Morsels of Delight.
