breaching the surface 

of the icy seawater— 

dolphin’s one breath poetry

David McMurray, Japan 

king salmon 

breach the cobalt blue sea— 

and head for home

David McMurray, Japan 

the pond ice 

thawing…

carp rising

Ernesto P. Santiago, The Philippines 

making a life out 

of what was left behind 

scholar stone   

Ernesto P. Santiago, The Philippines 

what is my calling 

and where should I go

breaching rocks

Ernesto P. Santiago, The Philippines 

drifting in and out

of a vogue word the last echoes…

stone, light, and silence 

Ernesto P. Santiago, The Philippines  

forever breaching

is it water or sky

dream stars

love’s breath

held in a drop

of ocean tide

breaching 

the surface tension 

hints of freedom

breathtaking 

one whale’s breach 

and then another 

Pamela Garry, USA

into a beautiful butterfly

as does the breach for joys to reach

Hema Ravi, India

bobbing in and out

splashing and thrashing—

awaiting

Hema Ravi, Chennai, India

within the diverse elements

rests the unified mosaic

—bold and dynamic

taking a breather 

the humpback 

has time to krill 

Tracy Davidson, UK

still hunted by humans 

who wait for their breach... 

a pod of whales pass safely 

shot only by cameras 

instead of harpoons 

Tracy Davidson, UK

low tide 

appears and disappears 

secret of the ocean
          

Wiesław Karliński, Poland

younger mossy 

older smooth 

fates of stones

the fleeting instant

of the giant's leap from dark depths…

humbled
