2011 Galapagos Poems during a Kids Sea Camp
Here poems from the Galapagos liveaboard adventure during Kids Sea Camp. KSC host a poetry presentation every Friday the night of the closing celebration. The Stookey Bunch (to the Brady Bunch theme) This is a story Of a family named Stookey That was sailing with five very crazy kids Christian and Nelson were so frightened Until the KSC staff walked in The kids were whining- Putting on their thick wetsuits And the water was choppy, rough and cold But when the sharks, rays, and dolphins swam by It was all worthwhile Then the whale shark Took our breath away As he silently glided by Then much too quickly the dive was over And the strong panga guys arrived Back to the ship for coco and snacks We’ll need to add more weights to our belts But it’s all worth it to dive at Darwin We wish it would never end This is the end of our story But not the end of our diving adventures. Teaching our children to love the oceans So they can protect it! The EndThe Quest By John Coniff, (12) & Vanessa Clark We came to Darwin’s Arch from far and wide Hoping to see a whale shark, but so far been deprived. The current is strong, Our wait has been long. We’ve seen eels, hammerheads. Tuna and even an eagle ray, But our quest has been held at bay Our parents promised us at least one Before our trip to the Galapagos was done. Nelson’s videos are awesome but not enough, We want the real stuff! We will listen closely for Christian’s shaker, Only that won’t be a faker. Tomorrow will for sure be the day That whale sharks did pass in the blue and made us say HOORAY!!!!
The Galapagos By Cristina & Carlos Castello A longtime dream Finally enjoyed With my kid and all the members Of the friendly crew Are showing us the wonders of this beautiful sea. Hammers, “Galapagos” turtles and seals, dancing with the dolphins’ Surrounding me!! And coming out of the blue, here is what we see, A whale shark for me.
