Analysis of OCEANS (trilogy)
Black-white Black-white
pink froth explodes
seal-pup gone forever
killer whale patrols.
Surf-board, floating
snapped in two
embedded tooth
tells a tale
surfer never found;
sign on beach
reads beware!! sharks
around
these waters.
Listen to the whales
talk
a beautiful,beautiful thing
but even better listen to
them sing.
