Ph: Life: Whale Speak Comments

A true caring father for all...including whales. Ha! you have delivered this important message clearly. Well done!

i had a whale of a dream just last week; i can't tell you about it in this public place, but (hint, hint) think giant squid and hula girls. i've sent a private message but it doesn't pertain to girls or squids. READ IT NOW. ;) bri i think the rhyming, though nice, got in the way of the 'story'. who says whales can't be thirsty, just because they spend most of their time in water? water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink. sound familiar? [now i've read 'that' poem online and found one typo there i believe.] maybe large parts of their brains help control salt metabolism, sonar, and navigation? i wonder how many navy seals, green berets, or marines were/are vegetarians. hmmm? just some thoughts from good old bri. THANKS FOR SHARING. :) bri p.s. ok! i gotta ask ya [(i've got to ask you OR i have to ask you.............for you other-language-speaker members of PH) ], did you MEAN to write mighty tales or mighty tails? ? and belong to what? i rate the rhymes and rhyme scheme 10++. the story, understanding, proofreading i rate..................hmmmmm.............i'm thinking....................don't want to be too harsh..............8. :) p.p.s. i DO HIGHLY recommend Brian's poem PH: Animals: The Man Who Loved Lizards. he did NOT pay me to write that, but he should have.

Brian you wrote this poem superbly

great poem with a clear message...well done

I agree it is a brilliant poem Brian and if only whales can speak they will sing the song of this poem. I gave it a 10/10 because it has lovely stanzas with deep meaning attached to it. Plant eaters claim that they’re better But still kill their own kind in war - a very nostalgic line and so true.

Absolutely beautiful poem depicting the grandeur of the whale. The poet asks questions about whales that most of us would not think to ask, yet the answers would be fascinating. -To float your whole life without thirst, Til harpoon informs you are cursed-......brilliant lines from an equally brilliant mind.
