Flashing crashing
through the waves
striking diving
into the deep
great and wonderful
the orca whale
Jamie (aged five)
As I am still suffering from a severe case of writers block, my lovely grandson Jamie has stepped up to fill the void.
On Thursday, his teacher sent him a picture of an orca whale and asked him to write a poem about it and above is the wonderful result! Well done Jamie!
I asked Jamie if I could post his poem here, and thrilled he said “Yes!”
Thanks Jamie and a big Hello to my other lovely grandson and your lovely brother Theo!

Go Jamie ! Good poem. Don't forget to charge Granny one pound per poem for your poetry jar
Good on you Jamie!
That's a terrific poem! Must run in the family.
Awww go Jamie! I couldn't have known it wasn't Granny. Love!
Jamie is so very talented. His poem conjures the movement of the whales so well. And the tone of the words speak clearly of the joy such encounters produce.
To Master Jaimie:
You are a mighty fine poet, my friend. Please write more for all of your granny's friends to read.
Regards,
Grandma Woonie in Bend Oregon ... you can look it up on a map!
WOW Can't wait to see what he writes when he's 10, 12, and adult! This is amazing.
Cute! I agree with Bev that this is especially good, considering he is only 5! Keep writing, Jamie. :)
Cheers to you and to Jamie!
I hope Jamie continues writing poems as he grows up! That's a good one for a kid!
Bravo, Jamie! He's on his way and made quite a splash here.
Well done Jaime! You've described the orca's playfulness so well.
For a 5-year-old that is quite an effective poem. He has obviously inherited your gift.
Awesome poem! You must be so proud! Hope you break through your writers block soon.
