Sound Of The Hurricane - - Poetry by Paul Lloyd Warner

As human beings, many of us forget that Whales experience the same bad weather we do. Sailors know to avoid the path of hurricanes. In olden days, many got caught in the high winds and waves, perishing at sea. This poem now presents a hurricane from the Whale's perspective. The seas churn wildly yet Whales must come up for air. As heavy rains pound their blowholes, with waves crashing upon them, even Whales suffer terribly during the worst of storms. Protecting their young is first priority. Baby's have to breathe. Lasting through a night of heavy storms can be perilous as this poem reveals to us.
