Tides

lazily the waves

lap the pebbles on the beach

a crab scurries by

to burrow beneath wet sand

a prisoner of the tides

I could feel the sand. I love the prisoner of the tides part. I love the tide pools and you can only see them at certain times of the day. So I get it. Lovely fun. Ann

Reading your poem I was taken back to my childhood walking the Clearwater Beach with my dad. Thanks for the read.
