those that said poetry is dead
have to be wrong
we have not yet translated
the epics chanted by whales
circling the polar ice
all that singing
must include metaphor
we just haven’t wrapped
our primate minds around
the syntax yet

Susan Daniels Poetry 
I love whale song it is so sad and plaintiff yet for all we know they could be discussing the weather, strange how different tongues inspire emotions regardless of the context of the words
yes, exactly, Paula. They could be talking about the best spots to get krill…
hehehe I now have the image of whales singing about krill to the tune of monty pythons spam song in my head, it could be a while before I get any work done lol 😀
Paula–LOVE it!!! Write about that first, it will get it out of your head…
I love this Susan..the thought of a whale’s song being interpreted as poetry..
Thanks, Mimi–they have to be saying more to each other than, “Hi–what’s up? Want to make a baby whale?”
Wait–some humans do little more than that already 😉
Yeah,, but since whales don’t tweet or text, my hunch is that they’re probably having more ‘real’ conversations than we are! 😉
🙂 agreed, agreed. We are much more superficial!
So true you are … completely agree with you 🙂
Thank you!
Excellent! (I would like to make a Hitchhiker’s Guide joke, but will refrain. 🙂 )
Oh, Karin–joke away–love that book! Glad you liked 😉
Too true, Susan
😉 thanks!
