This week's words:
Clever; Finish; Silky.
The Kiss Of The Fin-footed Mammal
There's a fishy smell
and the slurp of the waves kiss
my ears - have you felt
the wash of seal's tongue?
A clever moment, that's sure.
The joy of the chase -
Remember sinking
to the finish of all things
and then with a flick
darting off after
schools of silky silver prey?

LOL the kiss of a seal. well put in this poem.
ReplyDeleteSeals and sea lions are such fascinating creatures. Some places I guess they are a nuisance, but fascinating non-the-less.
ReplyDeleteEloquent ode to a seal - reads really well.
ReplyDeleteI often wonder what they think we they see us. They probably think we are a poor example of a mammal that is so limited in the sea!
ReplyDeleteShe's a selky!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I've neglected you somewhat of late; the e-mail feed I had you on closed down and I didn't get round to finding an alternative, but I'll get you on my sidebar one.
Can a point you gently towards Tom's blog?

Generally I try to keep hands off a bit, as I think he needs to find his own way and form his own blogging relationships, but there's stuff he posts about and refers to (eg 12 step matters) that I kind of think you might be understanding of or interested in, if you've the time.
As ever, I enjoy and appreciate, and often love, your writing.
I visited and see what you mean about his matters. I posted a small comment and will see what happens.
DeleteCoincidentally happened to see sealions and seals in their habitat recently
ReplyDeletethis brought a smile:)
To me too. :)
DeleteChristopher: It's the eyes that do it for, and to, me. I'm a sucker for animals' eyes. (I'm certain Lucy told me which blog was yours, but I still made the connection between you and "View From The Northern Wall" by accident. Will try to do better!)
