The exercise:

Write two haiku about: crabs.

Crab hunting at the beach this afternoon was pretty successful. Also collected a whole lot of shells.

  1. Sideways walking in
    A shell ain't easy, you know.
    Hold your seahorses!

    Tiny footprints in
    The sand skitter here and there
    When the sea runs back.

  2. Collecting shells sounds like a children kind of thing to do... I hope your parents have space for them :)

    @Morganna: nice to see you again! I like both your haiku, but especially your second today; the middle line really makes it for me.

    Crabs
    She says she has crabs.
    I don't know what to think. How
    Do I ask "What kind?"

    -----
    Everything evolves
    To be a crab in the end.
    You're almost there, boss!

    (The second one inspired by this -- carcinization :)

  3. Morganna - absolutely love your first :)

    Greg - my parents already have a ton in their house. We brought home a couple (small) bags worth.

    Hah, like your first one best as well. The "other kind" jokes kept popping into my head whenever the boys were talking about crabs but I managed to stay strong and keep them to myself.
