Beautiful sea lays in ebb
racing crabs stumble and stammer
Ease of tide brings life to me
a repetitive form of alpha
Tides wash away the past
heavens filled with gulls up high
They glide about with dangling feet
air of sweet and salty aroma
King crab falls prey to beak
ingesting urchins of ball like cacti
Nothing compares to a day at the ocean
glowing days filled with the knowing

Lovely! A tiny eco-system enclosed in verse. Congratulations on the Bronze.

Wow this is really different.
I love the sea and you have captured the things I wouldn't normally associate with the beach, which is why I love this poem.
You have kept to the Mirror acrostic format well.
Congratulations for the bronze! -
What a lovely image of a beach you have painted. Well done with the mirrored acrostic!
