Early Morning At the Beach

early morning sun
sparkles crystal blue water-
like aqua blue glass

a flock of seagulls 
hover over crashing waves-
watching for sea fish

sandpipers on shore
searching for dead crab pieces-
while chirping their song

bright pink beach roses
waif in the salty sea air-
masking ripe wetlands

tide slowly building
as the ocean is waking-
waves crashing louder

I just read my comment to you the first time I saw this and can't even understand what I said with "a dat" I was on my cell phone. I really should never use it for poetry comments. Anyway, back with my congrats!! Well done!
