A Poem a Day 2015 (20): Scrawled in sand


Scrawled in sand

Tip-toe these twisting lines
drawn lightly in sand
where white crabs crawl
leaving their endless scrawl
little rivulets running
of ice-cold water
when the air finally cools
flock the circling gulls
diving for fish and chips
ensnared in black and white
harmony rides the horizon
dressed in pink and purple
a sweeping crystal wave
in silken silver symmetry
