I want a printed copy of this, printed on paper with pictures of dolphins, in a wooden frame to hang on my wall! Seriously! I am tweeting this!

Speaking of cetaceans, in my Traipah storyverse, the dolphins, orca, and whales have learned how to use human tools, and go space-faring with us. Many of them love the Na'Voom Da homeworld, Na'Vren Sen, because it's an ocean planet with a fair amount of relatively shallow water; IE, large areas where the water is only 100 or so feet deep. And the Na'Voom Da, if you remember, look a little like pleisiosaurs.

I'm open for scrapbook commissions. This poem fits on one page, so $5-10 depending on how fancy you want it. Simple stuff like direct printing or common stickers is $5. If I have to go out shopping for paper with foil or glitter, or elaborate diecuts, etc. then it's likely to run more. What color of a wooden frame? Postage is typically $2. Let me know what you have in mind and we can hammer out the details.

That is really cool.

Come to think of it, I've got a poem that has cetaceans using alien technology -- "Weapons of Mass Destruction."

"We have heardseen the sendings
of the other dolphins and the whales and all the rest."

I find I must coin a new Trai'Pahg'Nan'Nog word:
Syerr'lah'vay'ehn = A shudder of intense pleasure that goes through the body upon experiencing something that is intensely aesthetically pleasing.
