What a lovely beautiful poem effort
I have seen humpbacks in the wild and many tv programmes about them and this poem does very well to capture their travels and beauty.
It is broken into nice level of verses but there is a mix if me and us ans so this should be adjusted.
I am not sure on line 17 meaning?
The meter is not bad to me. Whether or not you gave specific thought to it

echoing across the abyss,
calling us to the birthing place.
Calling us home.
Fat and strong and ripe with life,
I left the icy krill waters,
crossed the terrible dark deep
and found again the warm blue reefs.
I sound into the depths,
turn and hurl upward through the sea,
soaring into the light, my blood ablaze,
flightless wings askew.
I roll and blow and flail my flukes,
quivering with delight,
from the caress of sun upon my skin
And the nuzzle of new life.
For now we sing the winter sun.
Soon enough, the hunger will wake.
Calling us back to the feeding place.
Calling us home.
