dear victory
dear victory
don’t ring the bells yet; let
your sparkle fill the thirsty maws
of gulls at ebb tide as the
water recedes and toddlers
scamper after treasure chests of
purloined shells and sharks’ teeth;
let the last fleck of tired hands rise
up and seize your cannonball grace
and fire back at the leering jesters
who blacklisted your parade.
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
“You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She
placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
