In parts, you're right, but sometimes we, or I, need a problem that actually can be solved once in a while. So this whale might symbolize hope that people can still be compassionate. People in other countries don't understand the fuss, they say a stranded whale is a natural occurance. In my opinion, abandoned nets, all the noise, and the changed climate conditions aren't natural. I hope he makes it, against all odds.

Thank you for considering my series. I'm soooo curious about your thoughts.

No gas for me, I have an e-car. I'm refueling at home. If you want to compare, I pay 6,40€ per 100km.

I didn't want to do this, and add another topic. I thought there wouldn't be much to say, but then, a few days ago, I changed my mood, and some of you reached out to ask me why I'm sad. It showed me what a great community this is. For those who are interested in the fate of the stranded humpback whale lying in shallow waters off the island of Poel near Wismar. He's still alive. A privately financed rescue operation is currently trying to lift the animal onto a tarp, which will be secured to two pontoons and attached to a tug boat to transport him to the North Sea. Some experts said to let him die in peace because he is too weak and sick. Others suggested killing him mechanically; everything else would be animal cruelty. Then there are those who say there's still hope, seeing he's still fighting for life and singing. I think he became a symbol of hope in this wretched world.

As always with your poems, I could see everything, feel everything. Life is moving forward, though, there is no way back for a do-over. All this formed you into the man you are now. There are great accomplishments, too. Right? Besides your wonderful poems and storytelling, being a good friend, etc... The list is probably endless.

Every word counts, so do these.

Your poems rang a string, a guitar's, or a piano's, *shrugs*, deeply hidden; sometimes I'm ashamed of it, but hey, only we know about it, huh?

Second batch, I'm curious.

These two are very me, so I loved to read this.

I looked for an explanatory article for you guys, so you'd know why I wrote the admittedly very short poem. I already knew why they changed the lyrics.

of course. 😁

I don't know how many times I wrote poems about birds, especially herons; their patience fascinates me. I'm glad the poem resonated with you.❤️.

Haha, one day maybe?😺 So glad you liked this one. It took ages to get it right. Thank you for reading my poems and sharing your thoughts.❤️

Haha, you could say that, just adapted for a jester. I loved this phrase. Yes, Düsseldorf is lucky to have him. Thank you. I was always moved when I heard the song, and was sad when I couldn't listen to it anymore. I was so glad when I heard the new version. And yes, since summers are getting hotter and the sun is intense, more and more people use them. Thank you, Gary, for reading, reacting, commenting, and reviewing my poems.❤️

Pictures and questions that let me stare unseeingly, letting imagination fly, and looking for answers that just might not have to be answered. Thank you.
