Small Creatures

#writephoto

Stood on the shore in their finest attire

Mum dad and little un

All leaving a trail on the sand

Looking out for the funny coloured seashells

Likelyhood is they’ll find you first

Crab like creatures

red, black or white

enter the range of view

as they pop up to say hello

taking a step left and sometimes right

until at last they

reach the waters edge

expect them to take a

sly nip of your wellies as they pass you

    I remember getting bitten by a big orange Cromer crab when I was a little boy like the one in the picture. A very nicely penned beach tale.

    Ooh this started off all warm and fuzzy then ended up a bit like a horror story with a gang(? – not sure f the collective word) of crabs coming to pinch you – haha. Great entry.

      could have been worse KL – I could have referered to those small fish in Greek Waters who like chomping at your legs underwater (No, they’re not Pirahnas!) Cheers for Reading.
