Blue, grey, white haze;
Above a golden sea,
Smooth as ice,
Weaved like silk;
Clean and free.
Great mammal of peace;
Contently, touches the gold,
To speak to me.

He speaks of untouched nations,
Beneath the gold, deep in the sea.
Where schools of fish, learn of creation
And sea lions play, in the weeds.

He speaks to me, about the otter;
The joyous fun, he makes of water.
He tells me all about the dolfin,
And his great love, for the ocean.

Then, with a tear in his eye,
The mighty mammal waved goodbye,
And from his spout, came a spray,
That I hope,
Will never fade away...

Whales are and awesome creature to watch as they swim so gracefully through the water.

I wrote this one day when I was in the Navy. It was just before sunset in the middle of the mediterranean ocean. I was sitting alone on the fantail of the navy destroyer, that I was stationed on, having a smoke.
The water was flat as ice and there wasn't a hint of wind, as I watched one of Gods most beautiful sunsets ever, a huge whale eased up out of the water and just floated there along side of us and stared directly at me with his large, intelligent and very human like stare that seemed as though he wanted to say something to me. We,(Myself and the whale) just stayed there looking at one another for what seemed like a long time and then he calmly flapped one fin as if to wave goodbye and gave a small spray from his spout and slowly slipped away back into the depts. I was left with one of the most surrealistic feelings of my lifetime, and will never forget it.

very nice write

Cheers on the write! Good read.

Beautiful picture you have painted!

Overnight I thought about these words. I have come to think(I may be wrong) that many of the writers here only write about lost love or how wonderful love is or something to do with love. I agree LOVE is a great subject, but after reading many poems one one particular subject, the audience must be getting a rather limited interest in the writer.
So my idea is to challange all the writers in this forum to write one poem on any subject other than love pertaining to an adult relationship.Also, this challenge is to write on a subject that you think nobody else will possibly think of.
You are all wonderful writers, I am interested in the many facets of you. Please try this.

I'm up for the challenge.
