Seashell Poems

Seashell Fists

Seashell fists, salt-bitten and flipping stones 
watching waves contort 
as they crashed into one another

I remember liking how sun rays shone on my teeth
when my face would tilt up as I laughed 
but did my teeth yellow 
from all the days I spent smiling up at the sky?

I, a fluid body plucked 
from the sea

AQUAMARINE

Early morning is the perfect time to walk the beach,
the cool water licks at my feet.
The soft sand is like walking on a pillow,
pretty seashells yell-pick me up.
My day started off with a bit of heaven on earth.

the seashell

the wind spins my waters
it whirls and splits my waves
until I am the shell of a story
between the shore and the tide

hold me to your ear,
and I will quiver to your touch,
sing the sorrow of the sea,
sandcastles and the sky

say that sometimes 
you still see the beautiful 
innocence of everything
in the distance

Seashell of Hippo

Your words outshined the Anicii house's marbles ~ but not pearly truth 

The seashell

I found a seashell in the car today;
it rolled into her deserted footwell
as I turned into our old parking bay;

it lay, with all the stories it could tell.

We gathered it, together, on some beach
the girl and I, amidst the water, wine,
hypothesis of things beyond our reach;

when was that? Oh, the summer 69,
I think, it’s hard

Nom de Plume

Soft and feathery and illusive
Each word a woven world of fantasy
An artistic lair for the lunacy of emotion

Musical, distant and serene
Aesthetic shelters like seashells
Cast by the angst of the ocean

Seashell Memories

He brings seashells to the seashore.
She sells shells and a whole lot more.
He surfs on highs of the sky in pictures of memories of times that are past.
She slinks by him over hill and dale and lays her days in fields of grass.
He thinks he'll never be worthy of her time and energy.
She sees him

Am I Not Pretty Enough

I wash up on a beach
Feeling weird as I am no longer moving
A child walks past
I feel optimistic
until it has been many children
all walking past

Am I not pretty? I wonder
You are pretty enough, another seashell says
I was pretty enough too.
Never give up on yourself.
I wait patiently 
and wait
and wait
and wait
and

Wait! Why not me? I yell

A Rich Day

The day shines like gems
Glistening in the sunlight
I feel rich today

I find a seashell
I listen for the ocean
The sea comes to me

Found the mother load
The gold mine was in her eyes
I'm rich forever...

The Tears of the Seashell

On the depths of the ocean floor,
a seashell drifted all alone.
How vacuous she felt in her soul
and so incredibly cold! 


Tossed about by indifferent schools 
of fish that hurriedly swam by.
Beautiful fish, utterly deaf to that
shell's painful, lonely cries.


Schools of them, in a gigantic hurry.
Who cared if a shell had worries?
They were the elite of

Wings of a Seashell

Receding waters allowed me to walk
on the heart of the ocean floor.
The lady of the ocean extended her hand —
the wings of a seashell soared.

God heard boldness tempered with timidity —
cherry redness ingratiated on warm cheeks.
A taciturn excitement parted her lips —
the Lord eager to give her all that she seeks.

One shell hailed from the

Walking the Sand

As I walk the soft velvet sand,                                                

Seashell Days

lazing by the shore
whispers flee from ebbing tides
winds howl in silence
