Beached Whale Blues
Beached whale, blubbering waves
High tide saves the day
Good fortune smiles down, for sure

Strange the beaching of whales Nev.
-- your descriptive haiku reminds us of high tide rescue for some while others are the unfortunate ones. Sad eh - - and I am beginning to blubber now...........x
Haiku very much indeed & bless ya too .. this was inspired by my attempting to help such a wonderful creature back into deeper waters .. whilst on holiday in Madeira two years back .. I was not on my own .. there were maybe a dozen of us and yes .. we got the old girl afloat again ...................................................................... 🙂 x
Good write N.
Thanks O
Much of that rescue activity you relate occurs also in Australia, Nev. Dedication required - kudos.Such a turnaround from the old days.
Whale watching now big business - Humpbacks breaching is a spectacular sight - if a little mysterious.
thank you DD .. we saw four species when we last went WW .................... 🙂
what mates we were then
spinnakers on the wind
A lovely turn of phrase Jerry .. wish I had got there first ..................... N
Tradition has it that you complement a superb three liner with a two liner.
That one species should care and help that of another is the sign of compassion and love of life. Well penned N.
thank you my friend .. 🙂
Such an event for many in parts of this wonderous world means a bounty of good food and wealth. Today in our climes it is a sad occasion beyond our understanding.
High tide to the rescue indeed but all to often the whale remains.
A puzzling poem for me to dance with possibilities.
no worries .. thanks for trying 🙂
Why do they get beached? Is it intentional or an accident - would be nice to learn.
Loved the haiku - I never learnt to compose.
I think there are many theories .. I personally believe there are just as many reasons or causes .. thanks for showing an interest .. and thanks also for the compliment 🙂
Yooooouuuu diiiiidd this weeeelllllllloooooo
Caw 🙂
It is such a shame to see those beached whales but there are many who help them get back to their safe environment.

which raises that old zen question ............ does a beached whale die on the shore when there is no one around to see it .................................... Cheers GF60 ..
