The baby sea lion seen on a Southern California beach.
I wrote this just for fun. Since I'm judging, I don't get to enter! LOL



Writer's Cramp: Cinquiano (2/8/6/4/2 syllables)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




The seal

Lying atop a craggy rock,

Is staring out to sea.

The sun is warm.

He nods.



Children

Run near the rock and point at him.

Cameras click and flash.

The seal sleeps on.

He snores.



Mother,

Diving in and out of the waves

Barks a beckoning call.

He yawns full-toothed,

And dives.
