Seal Songs
Seal pups are born to dive
to fish to play
suckled by their mama
as all mammals are
for their first weeks
pinniped pups
next live on shrimp
swimming in the salty sea
and sunning on stone shelves
or undulating up to rest on beaches
growing feeding swimming
sunning playing diving
swimming feeding growing
then finally fishing
and singing in the shallows
with their kin
soulful
seal herd songs
about salt sun waves
ocean mist fog rain and rollers
currents winds sleet snow and ice
clever jokes funny pranks
fast fish
fast flippers
floating asleep in the waters
with their eyes closed
and loving their bountiful
mother the sea
