"It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me." #MayaAngelou

And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.

I found line "frequency of whales" to be so beautiful. In this poem I wanted to explore this line and understand the way whales speak and how it can be connected to humans' complex communication. #whales #communication #ocean #voice #language #poetry #poem #poet #poetryspurpose
