L Milton Hankins Poet Free verse

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.

Sam Kauffman December 6, 2021 at 9:52 AM 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! L Milton Hankins December 6, 2021 at 1:01 PM Thanks so much, Sam. It was a brief, but fine trip to sunny Mexico. I really appreciated your comments on my little poem.

Congratulations on your win! Your poem is fun to read. L Milton Hankins December 5, 2021 at 11:38 AM 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.

Gershon Wolf November 24, 2021 at 7:26 PM Real ocean-side imagery here, my friend. Love those 'toes wriggling like tiny crabs scurrying.' Ole! ~ Senor Gershon L Milton Hankins November 24, 2021 at 7:48 PM Gracias, mi amigo! Reality is always better than fantasy, methinks.
