Best Crabs Poems

Grains of sand 
hiding small burrows;
every tiny sand crabs, the Emerita Analoga
needs its burrow.
intense sunlight’s warm but
has its dangers, even for a tiny crab’s skin.
xiphosurans, cousins to the sand crabs,
don’t need to stress and 
worry about the sun
as unless they are upside down, it won’t...

This is what some will say 
You’ve crossed the line. Time out.  
You’re rejected from the game  
You’re not coming back. So go hit the showers. 
Once cherished, baptized, and sublime 
Asinine. Never enough iodine. Guilty.  
Now crowned in your sins. ...

I went to the doctor with crabs
He gave me 380 jabs
To preserve your manly
Stay away from the fanny
Or your bits will be nothing but scabs...

Quite all forlorn sat Wilmot Crabs,
His tash all thorny threadbare,
‘The older that I grow each day,
The less I seem to care.’


Said Wilmot Crabs upon a while,
‘I have no time for chatter.’
Then wandered to a gaping womb 
And thought upon the matter....

Feet from the beach...
if they were many miles,
aimlessly they die....

On raised thorny stilts
Marbled lampposts, lifted eyes
Clawed leaves for soft filth

The spider grown fat,
And hard, and round, and callous 
Like hogs, blinds the sand

I know my species
The same purpose fits the flies
The outer shell lies

Barrels hiss with us
Clambering to scuttle time
Gravity's dead claw...

The sun goes down as we set off through bushes,
equip with homemade torches in hand,
A wish to catch land crabs by the bushels,
And stuffing our large crocus sack was our plan.

Focused to hear crabs crawling on the ground,
shoving vines and branches out of our way,
Thrilled...

a crab sheds his shell 
          vulnerable for six weeks
a new shell appears

stronger than ever
     he struts across the beach sand
less vulnerable...

small particle
of light in the
free and infinite space
what is knowledge
what is karma
she seems perturbed
white sand spreading beyond
an injured crab walking backwards
we are
our whole nature is freedom
we curb it we listen to false
teachings and get entangled
and we are in bondage
you are the horizon
where earth meets the...

Scavenger crabs live under rocks
They live under seaweed, they live under docks
Scavenger crabs live under floats
They live under driftwood, they live under boats.

Scavenger crabs are bad because
They'll bite you with gigantic claws
They'll poke you, pinch you, stab and jab
If you go near a scavenger crab.

Scavenger...

Is it because life pleads with love
Or love keeps longing for life
I still live on
Even as the hearse waits
Leaning on my gate

Is it because I flock
With doves of your bosom
And harvest poetry
Zealous scalpel scarifies them
Leaving wounds resembling a clown's grins

And I see a hasty autumn
Plucking...

Life's a carnival ride, a bag of barkers and crabs
pinching the mind with pink toys and shiny swag
stuffing your mind with sweet soft fuzzy things
wraps you in heavy chains and a cold nose ring,
leads you to a fiery, Ferris wheel ride of denial
plunks you aside...

Fish - put in pail,
then start to descale,
then gut its guts out,
sizzle in oil, turn it about,
some salt and pepper,
have it for supper!

Now,how do you cook a crab?
First, by its pincers grab,
then dump it in a pot
when the water's boiling hot.
Remove, clean, crack its shell,
marinate...
