Ocean Commotion
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

Crabs
a crab sheds his shell
vulnerable for six weeks
a new shell appears
stronger than ever
he struts across the beach sand
less vulnerable

an ibis searches for crabs ~

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...
