Linda Alice Fowler Poet Couplet

Sea Smiles

Strolling upon the shore at night,
cavorting crabs come into sight.
White-capped waves kiss the sultry shore,
whisper nothings in gentle roar.
Digging clams discover their holes,
hiding away within the shoals.
Starfish affirm their right of place,
disappearing without a trace.
Treasures blossom on cooling sand,
aglitter in a patterned strand.
Tiny rivulets run their course
returning to their common source.
Mysterious as it may be,
I will always smile at the sea.
