Poem Artwork


The oceans of hope where happiness abounds
Teeming with Dolphins and laughing love sounds
They flip their tails and ride the crest
They hover in pods and try their best
To be the mammals of a thirst
For love and peace...with nature first
Their sonar flows with constant ease
They flow with leatherbacks on a sea breeze
They respect both earth and seacoast lands
They smile with gentle play toward sands
Where love of this woman stands alone
Then hears their call to clean up their home
Grace with style...light years above
The down to earth of natures love
The wasteful here of man on earth
The greed of money often birthed
The work...the stress...the world of wars
Of good old boys and their toys
The fated folks who know but can't
Combat the evil without a chance
Polluted oceans...dulled salt waters
Life styles gagging life in slaughters
Beautiful Dolphins souls who faintly
Ask us all to stop the tainting
They don't trash our air...cast off oils
They don't drain acids in open boils
They don't cause tumors from nuclear waste
They taste the filth of our own traits
Those going downhill like last minute hours
Rusted shut tears that cascade in showers
These mammals...our gift...their alarm quietly shared
For cleaning up planets...when so few of us care
Tears of the Dolphin...echoed cries from the deep
Oceans are fading...filth slowly creeps
We inherit a world we pollute and we sour
We borrow the future from children of ours
We control with rules put greed in our pockets
We push daily tensions with atomic rockets
We hold off the earth place her on retainer
Ignore loving Dolphins while crude flows from freighters
The folks of our world...the ones we elect
The ones with our future...their lack of respect
We'll cry too late for the clean up that's due
Now I weep with the Dolphins...for all men and you.

one thing that puzzles me still is so many people haved raised their voices, why do things continue to get worse? Is no one listening to We, The People?

How they hang out around Galveston, I'll never know. A wonderful warning that the Houston Ship Channel cares little about.

If only we humans could learn to be like them, learning to truly respect our world, what a wonderful world it could be.

If you ever saw a dolphin in mid ocean running the bow of the very boat you are piloting, they are so magnificently beautiful to see them jump higher than the deck almost right beside the cabin...just a wonderful and smart creature and so many just kill them off with the many ways man has developed with his technology...Ed

...why do we destroy innoncence...can we not remember the freedom we felt...of innocent dreams of youth...shared so close to the nature of such a large world...and now become children of a lost playground.
inspired tears you have given us...to remember mistakes made...

What a sad ending. It's all true and we are the guilty ones. This one really has skillful rhyming!!! It's not that easy either. Anyone can try it and they'll see. Good job. Dolphins are such gentle, innocent sea creatures to be so bullied by us humans.

Dark are the hearts of men who line their pockets with the suffering of others. Sadly this will not go away as each successive generation clamors for more…well said susan

Dolphins are among my very favorite sea creatures; what we're doing to the marine wildlife, to the earthbound, to the skybound, is a crying shame! I fear the only wild animals and birds that our children's children will see will only be in zoos or encyclopedias - heartbreaking pen, very well written.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
