(I went to Sea World last Tuesday.)

I went to Sea World
The first thing I did
Was feed the dolphin
Some fish

I hated touching the fish
It was slimy and scalely
But if I got to pet the dolphin
I don't care

The dolphin saw the fish in my hand
And swam over in delight
He ate my fish
As I pet his bottle nose
Much to my delight

Cold hands means a warm heart

Dolphins are very special animals and have quite a connection with humans...I am sure you will never forget the experience. [one small critique...drop the s from pets and it will read a bit better...]

Seaworld is a wonderful place, vivid and bright just as this poem is vivid and bright.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown

Definitely an awesome poem! Julie, you should get your work published.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!
