This is a response to the book, "Moby Dick". It is the whale himself, personified, speaking to Captain Ahab.

Poetry that references and responds to another poem (expounding upon it, modernizing it, refuting it, contemplating it, etc. Original poem (or significant section) must be supplied in the author's notes. This is Leinico's wonderful idea. I'd like to expand it just a little to include responding to any written or spoken piece. This would include poetry as mentioned, but also famous speeches, essays, books, even documents like the Constitution or the Bill of Rights etc. I suggest the focus remain on poetry as set forth in the original idea, but I don't want to squelch any great ideas or inspirations that stem from this. :)) Remember, free verse has no set structure or rhyming pattern or fixed meter. You design your piece in YOUR structure as you see fit. This is entirely YOUR creation.
