Strolling along the beach today
cool breeze sparkled water
met this fellow
skittering sideways:
left left left
right right right
black beaded eyes swiveling
missing a leg or two.
Poor crabby fellow
looking for a place
to hide.
He's hoping
I won't
step
on
him.
I'm hoping
the
same.

Thank you for sharing this experience. I could sense that poor crab's anxiety, but of course you did nor step on him. You are too careful.
ReplyDeleteWill this little boy remember you in a day?
ReplyDeleteYou, that giant thing moving towards him, and the fear he felt?..Who knows what crabs may think and remember ?..
How adorable! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThis little crab sounds an awful lot like my toddler.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic little creature!

I can just see it!
Ah... throw him in the boiling water and let's get BUSY! Pass the tartar sauce, please. hehehehehehehe
ReplyDeleteI'd be crabby, too, if I was going sideways all the time. Heck, I'm crabby sometimes going forward!
