Wild June day
whales put on
wide vista performance.
Travellers watch.
In close
mother with calf by her side
breaks the water.
A huge whale follows.
Way out to sea
another blows spume of water
rolls.
His fluke goes up
then a gigantic s p l a s h.

I Found A Whale by James Aitchison

(in response to Prompt #4)

I found a whale

made of stone,

sitting by the creek

all alone.

How it got there

I don’t know;

stuck on shore,

nowhere to go.

Teacher’s note:  Whale Rock is one of many rock formations at Wilson’s Promontory National Park.
