Humpback

You twosome

Teasing jesters,

Diving down below.

Flowing, playing, dancing

How you love

Each other so.

 

Great curved backs

Emerge from the sea

With such clear pride;

Shooting water

Through the air,

Gravity aside.

 

Wading along

The rock-clothed shore

Forever in a pair

Singing in tandem

Harmonies that

Show how much you care.

This piece definitely got me on a personal level... I love the way you depict the whales, in their awe-inspiring majesty... not just for their sheer might and size, but also in their connection with each other. Not really sure what to say, on a free-verse such as this, beyond that this moved me. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reviewing Esse, I am glad it moved you. They really were playing together, right alongside our boat, so it was a spectacular sight to behold.

I liked this a lot, it feels open to the reader, although heavy imagery is used. I interpreted it as two people being ignorantly in love. Kind of like a secret meaning, still enjoyable read no matter the true meaning.
Favorite-ing this.

I like that you found a double meaning in there. Thank you so much!
