Jewels of the Sea

Dawn’s sunrise with the ocean tide low reveals new shells, like jewels aglow Mollusk’s homes recently vacated just waiting to be excavated Shapes and size of wide variety laid out as far as the eye can see Rolling waves will soon come to reclaim these low-tide jewels of ocean fame

I might not know a "parallelogram de crystalline," Joe, but I do know when I enjoy reading a poem. We see these jewels on the beach often. Tiny coquina shells come in many colors, but most of the others that make it to shore are broken. Thank you for creating this "jewel." Wishing you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn
