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.

Poem of the Day

I’m a rock.

Just a rock.

A sedentary rock.

I was warm until

blasting wind

left me with no cover.

I’m a rock.

I was dry until

eroding rivers

submerged my craggy face.

Just a rock.

I had friends until
they crumbled
and relocated to the beach.

A sedentary rock.
