Dolphins Poem by Bob Gibson

Dolphins

Rating: 5.0


Today i saw the dolphins, feeding in the bay
a pod of almost forty, put on a grand display
they were heading south to the river mouth
where the tidal waters flow
feeding on the sprats along the way
and putting on a show
their forms are so symmetrical, as graceful as if in flight
surfacing to take a breath, they are an absolute delight!

I love the movement in this poem Bob. Wow! 40 dolphins what a sight they must be and feeding on herringss (I had to look up sprats in the dictionary) . They are supposed to be such intelligent creatures too. Thank you for sharing. 10 Karin Anderson
