Naked Feet

My naked feet slipping into the sand Toes wriggling like tiny crabs scurrying To safety while the tide rocks relentlessly And seagulls swoop down to feast. written November 17, 2021 on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico HONORABLE MENTION entered "Bite Size Poetry No. 28" Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

Absolutely delightful Milt. I can feel the sand in my toes, hear the gulls and feel the sunshine. Congrats and high fives for your win! Here's to warm days of relaxation on the beach and blessings!

Thanks so much, Sam. It was a brief, but fine trip to sunny Mexico. I really appreciated your comments on my little poem.

Well lucky you ~ holiday in Mexico! Don't get a sunburn. Husband and I vacationed there some years ago with another couple. Great fun! Congratulations on your win! Your poem is fun to read.

Ann, thank you so much! I did have a week in Puerto Vallarta recently (the week of Thanksgiving). Then you know how wonderful and relaxing it can be.
