The Dolphins
19 September, 2002
Author: Sami Finley
|
Standing a couple feet in the ocean, watching the dolpins a few feet away. The ocean was almost as pretty as watching the Amercan flag wave in the air. The dolphins came closer in the distance so you could pet them. As Sue petted the dolphin the other dolphins were swimming and diving in the ocean. The dolphin Sue was petting felt like a half blown up inner tube. |

| Sarah (195.92.67.69) -- Monday, March 3 2003, 05:30 pm I think that the poem was good but I just didn't understand the meaning. Make the meaning more cleare. Or maybe I'm just srupid. Who knows????????????? |
| The Dolphin (67.250.178.188) -- Tuesday, March 4 2003, 12:01 am Sarah! This is a eight year old child writing. It means alot to Sami. That's all that matters. Enjoy it! It doesn't have to be clear. Did you write poems at eight? Just have some fun and read everyone's poems, clear to you or not clear. Sorry Sarah, I don't mean to sound mean. Perhaps you don't know that Sami is the youngest person on this site. No hard feelings now?-Dolphin |
| Martin Vann (63.208.43.132) -- Tuesday, March 4 2003, 07:51 pm How brave you are, to get so close. how did you did, was this a dream. So many lives live in the sea, I think you picked the most friendly of all, the Dolphins, to be your friends. Very Good, Sami, you did very well! MartinV |
| Nicole Fritz (24.28.33.50) -- Friday, March 7 2003, 01:26 am It was really cool that you had the courage to pet a dolphin.If it was me I would have been kind of scared.I love the ocean and expecially DOLPHINS! |
| Terrie* (65.147.241.220) -- Monday, September 8 2003, 11:47 pm you have to view this thru the eyes of a child, have you ever experienced the unselfishness in the world of a child when it comes to nature or anything? in both my view and opinion i found that sami's writing ...made alot of sense it was plain and clear, written like a true 8 year old poet...SAMI. you did an excellent job honey...keep posting.....Terrie (edited) |
| Caitlin (170.158.37.2) -- Thursday, October 2 2003, 02:57 pm Some poeple, instead of actually saying talent, they say..."you got it". And guess what.......YOU GOTZ IT!!!! |
| Kinzie (63.187.128.238) -- Wednesday, October 8 2003, 04:29 am I thought it was a great poem but, I would make it ryme and make it ryme on the facts about dolphins so that other kid will understand and like your poem but don't mind what I say do what you think is right |

| Stacey (68.82.126.206) -- Tuesday, December 16 2003, 10:12 pm I think this is a beautiful piece of work !! It shows how big of an imagination this 8 year old author has. I think Sami painted a beautiful picture with her descriptive words. Great job Sami! To Leah, I think your comment was pretty rude and next time you decide to leave a negative comment, maybe you should consider using the spell check. ~ Stacey |
| Cassie (199.199.227.66) -- Monday, December 22 2003, 06:17 pm That little girl has alot of talent! I wonder if she loves dolphins too? I used to live in Florida and it was my dream to go swim with the dolphins, and they are a very beautiful animal. Good job Sami:) |

| carebearpimp (216.21.187.227) -- Saturday, May 6 2006, 02:24 pm nice! im 16 and im still working on my writings! keep it up! |
| Kristin Vines (70.184.150.2) -- Friday, December 1 2006, 07:37 pm Sami I belive you are a good writer for eigth but comparing a dolphin to a half blown up inner tube is just crazy! Next time comparing to something different than somethinmg that goes in the body of a human being! Okay, but keep on writing for a little girl your eally good and I also admire you like for dolphins! Keep on writing about these wonderful intelligent creatures and don't ever stop! :) |
| Mikey (70.184.150.2) -- Friday, December 1 2006, 07:46 pm Your crazy in a good way keep it up! |
| Lucky (70.184.150.2) -- Friday, December 1 2006, 07:47 pm I like you and i havent even met you yet |
| Bipedalguy (4.156.144.61) -- Friday, December 1 2006, 10:57 pm If you were only 8 when you wrote that, I'd say you were precocious. You must be about 12 now. I've seen hundreds of Dolphins from ships and boats, but have never been in the water with them. They're lots of fun to watch, though. I'm convinced that they actually have fun playing in the bow wake. I hope you're still writing. |
| barb (67.58.203.211) -- Saturday, December 2 2006, 08:07 pm I think you are a great writer at 8 years old.Keep writing imagine how good you'll be at 18. Your wsriting is describing what you see in real life. And the negative comments just ignore, they are just trying to make themselves feel better by bringing down someones writing that is good. You have talent don't give up writing. |
| pink hottie (71.251.9.73) -- Monday, April 23 2007, 11:41 pm she is very talanted at 8 years old to be able to write that... very nice :-) |
| I can not say (168.216.25.186) -- Friday, October 26 2007, 01:04 pm I think that you are very good at this and if you wanted i bet you might be able to get some of your poems published and you are real good at this you remind me of my cuzen who had just died and i thank you for chooseing the dolphin poem and even if you dicied to get them published you have to tell who all gets on this web site and all of the others sites you have that if you want to but get out there and show the world you are |
