Whale - Anne Kaplan

Probably the best anti fat shaming haiku and affirmation of identity you will ever read.

And, dare I say it, the perfect ending to Fat Poets Speak 2: Living and Loving Fatly. For more of Anne Kaplan's amazing poetry, read the book. (We will of course feature some here, on this blog.)

Whale


I swim for the joy.
"Look at the fat whale!" you yell.
"Thank you!" I reply.
