PERSISTENT RAIN PREVENTED MUCH PHOTOGRAPHY TO TAKE PLACE, BUT I DID WHAT I COULD, MOSTLY WITH MY IPHONE, TO PROTECT MY CAMERA...

SEAL IN EXILE... (My latest poem about the seals at Horsey Gap, Norfolk...)
Seal In Exile…
Alone, some distance from the throng, the seething mass
Of rolling, heaving, hooting seals of many patterns and hues,
One lay alongside the wooden panels of a groyne on Horsey beach,
Seemingly exiled.
Undaunted by the interest of humans, who would pass
Nearby, it turned to reveal the likely clues
As to why it was isolated, out of touch and reach,
Seemingly reviled.
Gashes, lesions, lacerations across its belly were revealed,
Its fate unfortunately, irrevocably sealed…

Rather sad to have seen this seal isolated, well away from the pod…
THE SURFIN' SEAL & THE LUNGING LINEBACKER... (My new poem about the seals at Horsey Gap, Norfolk...)
The Surfin’ Seal & The Lunging Linebacker…
The dark seal from the North Sea emerged,
Propelled by a spiteful grey-green tide,
As if surfing for the very first time.
Its expression was one of uncomfortable surprise,
Resembling an inflatable with huge, gaping eyes…
The other dark seal from the depths surged,
Solid and toned like an NFL linebacker;
Powerful, yet with an athleticism sublime,
Its expression was one of sheepish surprise,
Resembling a friendly giant with huge glancing eyes…
