Dancing, in tandem, as lithe as
any ballerina; Performing their
underwater ballet, to music of
an aquatic nature ;
Their voices, individual and precise;
With a softness within families;
Talking, to all that will listen to
their busy chatter .
Companionship, is what they crave;
With their gentle expressions,
and fin waving, they gain the hearts of
humans;
For who else could walk
on water.........................?

I love this...and the picture is very cute. Such a sweet poem, short but with plenty of meaning. I especially like how you ended this with a question. It really added a lot to the whole poem.

Yes, I often wondered who decreed that we were the superior race Man is his wisdom I suppose Many thanks for your kind words , they are appreciated

What a perfect description. Particularly liked the lack of sentimentality we often see where dolphins are concerned. The last line succintly expresses that mystery they hold, that superior being-ness.
