M. L. Kiser Poet Haibun

Oceans Surprises

I love collecting shells at the ocean; below the pier,  I find the tiny ones, sharks teeth and teensy starfish, from which I enjoy making jewelry.  They wash up in the waves and lay there; piling up over time.  I don’t have to dig very deep, to find them; they’re small enough not to sink down in drenched sand.  Ocean offers many surprises, such as these.

ocean gives up her gifts
her offspring-
captivating jewelry.
