Beach Day

While strolling on the beach
I can feel the sand crunch underneath my toes.
As I walk along the shore
The waves splash my feet.
I can hear the seagulls squawk above.
I feel the sea breeze whoosh on my face.
Shells clatter together,
As the crashing waves push them around.
I looked at the shimmering shells
And picked one up.
Little to my knowledge, it was a hermit crab!
I yelped when it pinched me!
I threw it back in the ocean.
It went splosh.
