Do crustaceans feel frustration
The question seems pure botheration
Until the alarming realization
That many ask it about Asians
Makes love Bathynomus giganteus
Isopod love not a casual lust
Romance private ocean deeps
Where little light ever creeps
Lovemaking crustaceans is no fuss
To the fish market she'd been fetchin',
Now her stomach linin' stretchin',
Must have been the crabs she ate,
Three crustaceans gone from her plate,
Now poor Grechin's rechin'.
Shadows on the sand; little crabs following mama.
Shadows follow everyone but, crabs can burrow to hide; I can’t.
It’s ok, my shadow is friendly with me but, crabs don’t know that.
There’s crustaceans in my rations,
And the krill are in my pills.
There’s a prawn on my lawn,
And all this gives me chills.
There’s an oyster who is cloistered
With a crawfish in a dish,
But the shrimp is on the barbie,
And that’s what gives me thrills.
Infidel fish arrive,
shoals of blank-eyed eaters swim in circles,
each time the head turns toward Mecca
they nudge it in another direction.
Sea-bugs emerge,
dyspeptic crustaceans as small as fleas,
fastidious eaters
that consume only hate.
Above the waves a ship sails away,
having buried again
the evidence of hells D.N.A.
Over the crys of seagulls
gods whisper loudest
over rain, and children voices
heavens open, declaring
'Sorrow is a pagan mask,
to scare the spirts
of envy away!'.
In Summer, tides rise
longest, crustaceans
crawl highest, only
to be devoured sooner
on bleached seagull sands
warming, burning, leaving
a decaying, vanishing shell.
Her mouth swallows whole
Slip away under the blackened deep
See the waves churning crashing overhead
Moved with a toss and jerk
An insignificant faint distant star in a murky dark sky
Embedded in sand
Lay with spiny urchins
Tumble across our sea bed
Crustaceans pinch and pick away
And what’s left for the coral
Feeds the sea
Until another
Good night to the smiling
moon asia land burnishing the
seascapes of you and me,
strokes of soapy filled waves
washing the shore brandishing
white sand, gleaming.
I was here before, with you and
you and you.
Twisting and scraping our way
like crustaceans lifting ourselves
parts one over the other till we no
longer were the sea but the limbs
on trees dropping seeds back through
the crusts of time.
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 without a doubt
Chew you up and spit you out.
As the sun makes its descent down the ocean line,
The sky turns peach,
And the sweetness of your smell makes me flutter towards you like a bee,
As I drift among the white sand,
The ocean waves reach for you,
And try to take you away,
The crustaceans shine their best for you,
And the sea stars light your ground,
As the stars begin to sparkle in the sky,
An unfathomable beauty unfolds,
And all I can offer you is a place beneath my wing.
Form:
waves gently caress
washing ashore sea treasures ~
beach scavenger hunt
a flock of seagulls
swoop and steal beach crustaceans ~
crab delicacy
a warm ocean breeze
wafts of beach roses and brine ~
sweet salty essence
dark ocean water
dance and reflect in moonlight ~
a calming cadence
the magical ocean beach ~
hidden beauty within reach

Notes:
Beta-carotenes make flamingos pink. Their diet largely consists of crustaceans and algae, which are rich in carotenoids. This pigment gives flamingos the hot pink or reddish coloration they are known for. (FACTS.net)
