A Dolphin's Day

Just a little poem I dreamed up for a contest. Pay it no mind, I know it isn't very good. But I tried!! :D Poetry isn't my strong point... I just thought it might be interesting to imagine what the dolphins think of those aquarium shows.

A Dolphin's Day

They shriek and they dance,

Wiggle and scream.

A spectacular sight,

A spectacular scene.

 

Ice cream dripping,

On a hot summer’s day,

Makes it far more interesting,

To watch the humans at play.

 

They are so very kind,

Giving us entertainment and a meal.

While we flip to get a better view,

And they feed us fish and eel.

 

We watch them scamper,

People running to and fro.

Splashing them with water,

Only makes for a better show.

 

The calves are most entertaining,

For their laughter is so loud.

At the sight of our fins and glamorous tails,

Excitement takes hold of the crowd.

 

And now for the finale, the very best part,

Any dolphin could tell you so!

We flip and we fly, they cheer and they dance,

And that’s that! It’s the end of the show.

Oh I enjoyed this one! Good luck in the contest. That poem was a lot of fun to read. The imagery was great. I never really thought much of what the animals think when they put on shows for us.

What contest is that for, may I ask?

I enjoyed how you made us silly humans the show for the dolphins! This was a lot of fun. You should try stepping out of your comfort zone as you came up with a delight of a poem. Great job.

Actually this was entertaining, as dolphin shows are.
I often wonder what they might be thinking to; though
they do seem to enjoy themselves! It's free FOOD anyways! lol

I give you Kudos for stepping out of your norm and giving this
a try. I believe you did a great job!

Thank you for your entry into the Picture Poem This (21)
contest and do hope to see you next round!!

Peace n Light,
