Tag as favoriteThe Humpback Sound Of Tragedy 
By Leslie M.,
Titanic tidal waves,
Splashing against playful, humpback bodies.
Sounding their call,
Melodies echo through the ocean.
Humpback shapes make
Graceful movements through the sea
While little ones sing their song of joy
As they tag along the ocean floor.
I see harpoon boats coming;
This breaks the joyful notes.
Their blustering, boisterous sound
Disturbs the shimmering sea.
While whales try to swim
This way and that
Their bodies are just too large,
And the boats are just too fast.
Whales are harpooned
And their song is stilled forever.
The baby humpback just cries
His soprano note of tragedy.
This piece has also been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.
