The Imprisoned Dolphin

In the deep blue waters

Where the tides rise and fall

The dolphin, the smartest of them all

In the water kingdom

Splashes its pectoral fins, wags its smooth fluke

And leaps many lengths

Above the waters to display its intelligence

The dolphin flaunts its love for mankind

 Fascinates mankind with its curiosity

And leaps above the waters

To reach the limitless skies

Human kind is bedazzled at its brilliance

 

But soon the dolphin will be imprisoned by the dictators of the world

The creators of boundaries and restrictions

Have succeeded for a moment

To restrict the leaps of the dolphin

For a moment the dolphin

 Is unable to leap high out of the water to get air

The dolphin is gasping for air-

Gasping for air to display its intelligence

Suddenly the dolphin is imprisoned

But it is only for a moment

Soon the imprisoned dolphin

Will navigate

Out of the waters

To higher leaps and bounds.

Soon the imprisoned Dolphin

Will be free to leap to higher heights

The sea, once free and uncontrolled. Dolphin are like many animals. Lost and few have any concern. Yesterday a 100 whales came to shore and died. Poison by the sea and sick. A powerful poem. Left something for the reader to think about. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I wish for the clean sea. Take a long time for the water to heal. Sea life won't and you are welcome.

I get a picture of a beautiful dolphin and the ocean from this. It's beautiful beautiful then cruel and then hope that almost seems bittersweet. I enjoyed this. ^^ Keep Dreaming.
