Sam Kauffman Poet Haiku

Scavenger Hunt

scavenger hunt

sandy summer beach
welcomes a scavenger hunt ~
 hot sand samba dance

lacy edged scallops
rippled shells like wind kissed surf ~
 trim tidal ball gowns

fallen stars – starfish 
through clear waters see the sky ~
 starlets seeking fame

building spiral rooms 
nautilus remodel grows ~
 under construction

precious sand dollars
bear reminders of the cross ~
 hidden doves seek sky

from many seashores 
loves sandy, sheltered, beaches ~
 cockle shells sea hearts

grazing the seabeds 
 cerith night hunter in swirls ~
 aquarius shell

many alias 
 periwinkle and magpie ~
  whelks create red dye

lazy summer days
 tidal froth splashes through surf ~
 shells decorate beach

Andrea Dietrich July 1, 2020 at 10:39 PM wow, you must be a real lover of seashells. You make them sound so gorgeous. I remember I did a science fair project on seashells. You know a lot more than I ever did about them!
