Dolphins

Dolphins dart daringly beneath the deck, dancing in the daylight.

Sleek, shining, silver bodies shooting through the surface of the sea.

Frivolously flying through the air, faster and faster; fittingly frolicsome.

Concluding, they casually cruise the calm, clear sea; completely carefree.

Majestic and mighty, mesmerizing, and most of all memorable for me.


I absolutely love seeing dolphins, their carefree nature and the fact that I always enjoy being in the ocean anyway means that I can remember all the times I have seen them while surfing, diving or sailing. 

I wrote this poem in the form of alliterations after seeing a pod of dolphins surround our boat during a diving trip in Papua New Guinea in 2010. The diving was some of the best I have seen in the world and the dolphins were the cream on the cake; especially when they lowered nets over the side of the boat and dragged us along in the water with them!
Have you got any alliteration replies?
