Premium MemberCrabs

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

stronger than ever
     he struts across the beach sand
less vulnerable

Hermit Crabs

Nomads, crabs aspire

Forsaken shells for tasking.

Seas' wanderers rest.

Random Animal Haikus

a small green gecko
smiling in the palapa
watching everything

arachnids calmly 
weave intricate spiderwebs
waiting in shadows

a striped iguana 
sunbathing on the smooth rocks
watching the ocean

hermit crabs scuttle
on wet sand, going nowhere,
only moving on

Premium MemberHermit Crabs Or Softness Free To See

The freedom to express one's deepest feelings, or softness, to another is a gift shown and given, to infrequently in our lifetimes. it's value taken for granted by parties tuning out. because of the familiarity of the sounds of the voices heard, one to many times, active listening, now reserved only for the new. So

Crabs

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 to glimpse a yellow crab crawling around,
 I launched forward,

Premium MemberA Sand Crabs Lot In Life

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 harm them.
long hot summers will see sand crabs burrowing to

Crabs In a Bucket

The extreme will to survive
Life finds a way
The struggle to adapt
Alone - we become predator or prey 

Like a crab in a bucket
There all alone
Climbs his way to the top
Liberated – like a coop that’s been flown

Tragically - when the bucket is full
Crabs fight with all their might
One climbs to the top
Overwhelmed by the others

Premium MemberCarnival of Cannibals and Crabs

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 a bearded lady-opening thighs
you want to jump off but your

With No Malice To Crabs

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 away your wayward curls
From your mane's nights
Locks after locks till

My Climate Crabs Call

When cold out, I was heard to say,
"I'll be so glad when winter's gone"
When it was warm with so much rain,
I complained, "I can't mow my lawn!"

The rain let up one sunny day
I said, "This heat is hard to take!"
It seems one way or the other
"I just can't seem to get a break"

If the weather

Premium MemberScavenger Crabs

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 crabs live by the shore
Hiding, waiting, crabs galore
Crabs are bad

Crabs Are Walking Sideways Now

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 space
no gravity in space
you are
free and floating
the weight of our
