Sturgeon Valentine, Poem and Painting Michelle Kogan

Sturgeon Valentine

Sweet swimming Valentine be mine
silent, your light becomes my vision
your cause becomes entwined in mine.

Odd Valentine we share together
a proud yet determined journey,
a valiant course risking all forever.

Flying high on the waves
salient Sturgeon Valentine,
Forever strive together through time…

 

The painting is of an Atlantic Sturgeon which is considered a “species of concern.” The short nose  sturgeon also of the Atlantic is endangered. Read more about these great fish at: http://www.fws.gov/warmsprings/bearsbluff/species/sturgeons.html
