Low Tide Browns Bay

Old mooring pylon
 with shag aloft,
wings flapping.
 Fitness freaks with dogs
jog the shore -
 one woman in particular,
her thighs slapping.
 An old heron and I
are amused -
 we fly away,
both of us clapping.

Brevity and levity - a good combination. Flapping shags and slapping thighs always grabs my attention down the beach. Sure paints a picture.
