Sea Otters of the pacific coast



Sea otters

Of the dark green seas
In the kelp forests of fisco bay

On cold pacific shores
Sea otters come alive
Frolic play with jested vigor

Spontaneous games throughout the day
Rhapsodies of symphonic joy
Diving swirling swimming
Deep amidst the swaying kelp of the Frisco bay

Lying on their backs
Bellies to the open skies
On the surface of green blue seas

Clams in little hands
Crunching with such delight
Through briny long haired whiskers
Such bliss is hard to know
But for a selected few
