Blue Crab Traveling On
Young Portunidae,
tiny paddles,
rotating
full speed;
your motor blades,
making waves.
Sun-radiated
psychedelic,
dyed waves
glinting;
shimmering
liquid Crayola

are the
waters mirroring
your elegance.
Note: The lovely Blue Crab is a member of the family of crabs known as the Portunidae; a swimming crab with hind legs similar to paddles. They are caught and eaten in many places. Often they are crushed or killed by passing cars, as they feed on mangrove leaves. Now they face possible extinction. https://chesapeakebay.noaa.gov/fish-facts/blue-crab
