wind lifts salty air
scent of the sea fills my hair --
fishing without care

pelican dives fast
shrimp on the hook was my last --
strips the bait I cast

turn with quick motion
see crab stealing sun lotion --
ocean commotion



*Entry for Carol’s Rhyming Haiku contest

Crab on a mission
So much inside that shell; leaves
writing in the sand

georgia's fiddler crab
waving claw attracts female....
size does matter  

consider the crab
two miles from his home
hates tsunami

white snow crab must wade
in oily, thick, blackened tides...
dressed in widow's garbs

Crab in seashell squats
Until hermit does not fit -
House swaps are a must.

lots of meat inside
moist every fork full too
just at the crab trap

hermit crab
                            and recluse spider
                            i give it a week

a crab sheds his shell 
          vulnerable for six weeks
a new shell appears

stronger than ever
     he struts across the beach sand
less vulnerable

family of deer
feasting out in my backyard
fallen crab apples

tiny mound of sand
harbor crab-
dog diggs

On feminine sands, 
wide spreads, buns of swells__ well fed, 
view, of the sand crab???

pincer-like movement 
 mollusc shell host shifts crab wise ~
          life clings to low tide

              velvet sunrise beams
              
              nothing, but wellness ahead

              a sand crab, just smiled

wetland water whirls
an ibis searches for crabs ~
foraging ballet

white feathers emerge
standing tall on bright pink stilts ~
bill crab prize displayed

grunts and cooing sounds
echo the wet marsh at dusk ~
ibis courting chant

salt crusted fish bone 
caught within tangled seaweed... 
high tide offering

hermit crab scuttles
erratically on sand... 
waving eyes on stalks 

opened mouthed seashells 
coated with wind driven sand...
change in the weather

High Temps, Brown Grass
Haiku By Tom
7/10/2022

Lawn premature brown,
July sun is scorching hot.
Crab grass will survive.

barefoot in the sand
    waves gently lapping the shore -
         a crab scuttles by

Your fair legs follow
Crawling print on the beach sands
Kitchen of the fried crab

sudden spring
explosion ~
crab apple blooms

the hermit crab lives
true to its given name through
its life lest mating

red clay muddy creek
crab grass eating brown bare feet
willow launches dreams

little wounded crab
walking down the sandy beach
tasty seagull meal
