Here’s my Lego blue whale – please read the information after the poem about the danger they are in. Send me you Lego animal photo and maybe I’ll write a poem about it! Here is my blue whale poem:
.
Lone Blue Whale
.
Far out at sea
where waves clash and toss
and the wide sky holds
just one albatross,
where light surrounds
and the winds blow long,
this is where you hear
the lone whale’s song,
horizon to horizon
winding on and on,
the air’s too weak
to carry the sound
of the pulses and cries
in the water around,
the beat of its heart’s song
has oceans to cross,
under a wide sky
and albatross,
and only the lone whale
that swims wild and free
has a love song as large
as the wide green sea.

The Japanese Government has indicated that they are going to allow commercial killing of whales to start again. Many whales are still endangered, and all sea life is battling against plastic in the water.
Fabulous author, poet and animal lover Nicola Davies asks: “Calling all uk children and their teachers. Please send your best whale pictures and poems to The Japanese Embassy to protest against the decision to start hunting whales again”.
If you would like to do this, please tweet, blog and also send the poems to:
Ambassador Koji Tsuri
