Beach Collection

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 22 September 2022 syllable counter... poetry soup

Strong clear images in your beach offering. Visually appealing (ie. "hermit crab scuttles" ). Congratulations on a very fine collection of expanding Haiku's. Brian
