Witty beluga swims unbound
Happily eats the fish they found
Intelligence only compounds
Talks often mimic human sounds
Expressive thoughts seem so profound
Weighs way over a thousand pounds
Humor can cause most to feel clowned
Amicable, socially crowned
Limber neck can twists all around
Endless intelligence astounds

Rebecca’s ( Fake Flamenco) Prompt:
This month, our theme is ocean creatures. For example, write a short poem about your favorite crustacean, cephalopod (octopus or squid), or cetacean; (whale, porpoise or dolphin). Teach us something new about the creature. What is unique about it? How it is particularly suited to aquatic life? G Rated please. Poet’s choice for the poetic form. I’ll translate poems that are fewer than 10 lines or 50 words.
Thanks for sharing this poem. Anita
