Seashore Sweepstakes

Seashore Sweepstakes northwest rocky beaches waves disguise cache of prizes ~ jellyfish parade Clams and Gooey Ducks hide in sandy blanket homes ~ no taste for chowder hold your breath then dive Abalone glued on rocks ~ opal sheen of shells clusters deep purple swinging from rocks of fool’s gold ~ Muscles hold strong always on the move Hermit Crabs – house on their backs ~ looks for vacancies Oysters together bedded down with family ~ maybe hiding pearls Limpets with strong foot clings to rocks and to fingers ~ teal and turquoise hats trophies from tide pools lucky tickets under stones ~ beach shore lotteries

What a beautiful description of the many sights found at the beach. Had to giggle at the hermit crabs seeking vacancies. I've found some interesting things in those tidal pools. A fave for me, Sam. Hugs, Carolyn

Happy Monday - or, is it Tuesday for you? Have been enjoying the challenge of haiku - especially in strings. Have to thank you again for teaching me. And, thank you for your much appreciated feed back from the master of haiku strings! Love the beach in the summer. Are you going to get there this summer? Hope so. Over Fork Over!
