Sam Kauffman Poet Haiku

Summer Seashore Treasures

summer seashore treasures

summer rocky beach
 seashells hide in frothy tides -
  barnacles scrape knees

basket filled with gifts
 sea life gone now but lives on -
  treasures of the sea

Dedicated to Anne Morrow Lindberg - Gift of the Sea

Warmest wishes always, my dear friend.. ~Susan Susan Ashley September 28, 2020 at 4:46 PM Lol! We're both poets in crime and rhyme! :)) So cute!! Sam Kauffman September 28, 2020 at 2:43 PM I love looking for shells. I especially love the nautilus and Percy's poem - "build thee more stately mansions, o my soul." Your gracious message lifts my heart and encourages me. It is special. Thank you, dear friend and poet in crime - er - rhyme! Sending you bunches of blessings and a hug!
