Crabby Crab


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.

  1. 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.

  2. Will this little boy remember you in a day?
    You, that giant thing moving towards him, and the fear he felt?..Who knows what crabs may think and remember ?..

  7. I'd be crabby, too, if I was going sideways all the time. Heck, I'm crabby sometimes going forward!
