Otters Poems - Poems about Otters

sea otters jump into the sea

sea otters of every width, age and size
Were at the crest of the hill at sunrise
Ready to jump into Indian Sea with umbrellas too
Throwing in coolers and towels after me and you

We sea otters are a playful bunch for sure
Laughing, we know there is no cure
Or way of stopping us once we find
A cliff to

Two Otters

And now we are two otters
Set peacefully adrift
In kelp strands entwined
By anemone gardens
There is just you and me

Upon emerald waters
The simplest gift
Is your hand in mine
And I am safely harbored
From the perilous sea.

Otter Love You More

bow riding 
Dall's porpoises play

sea otters, orcas
and bald eagles
every day
herding salmon

otter find another boat
and some porpoise

otter love you more
like I did in Alaska 

otter mend this net
love slips through
reel it in carefully
and stack it meticulously 
(setting it should
never ensue disaster)

a listless drifter
I have been 
tempting storms
and rocky shores

otter live this life on porpoise
like I did

Beware the Otters

Of many times we have in life,
Like some within the water.
A charm it seems, but darkness rife,
The mean and precious otter.

When first you glance, how beautiful,
And cute from feet to ears,
But deep inside, not viewable,
Is more than it appears.

The otter, such savage beast,
which kills it’s own for fun.
It rips and claws until deceased,
And leave it

Otters


Obscure sea mammals found 
off the Pacific coast,
opting for kelp forest
on California's cold
ocean waters, amongst
other marine life that
once faced near extinction.

Sea Otters

Did ya know sea otters hold hands when they sleep
So they won't drift apart, their wedding vows to keep
Now that's a stretch
Didn't know that I bet
This leaves me stunned and makes me freak

How Odd Are Otters

Are otters so odd?
   In Old English
Their name means 'water'
And it really ought to
   As they live near the river or sea

Are otters so odd?
  They sing like canaries
With clear voices
   So happy and merry  
Their high-pitched sopranos
   A treat for you and for me

The Otters Play

English Sonnet

Along the walk the suits and sneakers stroll,
so many faceless smiles that tell a lie
and don't reveal the true and costly toll,
instead with righteous glare they will deny.
We walked one time along this very shore
to skip a stone and watch the otters play
and vowed not to become what we abhorred -
a knight and a

So they won't drift apart, their wedding vows to keep
Now that's a stretch
Didn't know that I bet
This leaves me stunned and makes me overeat

River Otters

Lapis lazuli blue waters

copper stones sunset kissed

night sky

Wild and playful river otters

twirling round in a tryst

float by



Visual no. 5

Sea Otters of the Pacific Coast

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

Could I have him as a pet? 
I love animals...
