Sea lions--

magic swimmers,

in their eyes

the sea's reflection.

Slick soft fur,

long dark whiskers,

they brush against me

with pinniped flippers.

They sing

all day long,

a laughing tune,

a loud barking song.

She was on a TV game show and won enough money for a trip to Australia. She has lived in England and Japan. She has walked across a volcano in Hawaii and a glacier in New Zealand. She has gone swimming with iguanas in the Galapagos and was in Ecuador during a revolution. She visited the rainforest in Peru, went on safari in Kenya and walked The Great Wall in China.
