Fresh shrimp and a blue crab

 Shrimping

 Grand Isle, LA sunset

A 5" blue crab

came in with the shrimp

walked sideways

 as crabs do

to an empty spot on the far wall

all the while staring at me

Which eye do you look at
they're so far apart

It tucked its legs under

and sat with a huff

as if Velcroed

 Pincers met
covering it's chest
 implying
You want some of this
come and get it

I wasn't there to fight

but I did wonder

how good it would taste

in a salad

Sleepy Sweetie

You, there, 

open your eyes
you don't know
what you're missing

One never knows
what surprise
is in
a ball of
chocolate chip cookie dough

Sweet Potato Crisis

I've fallen

and can't get up

Even in disasters, love is there.

I saw this spot
on the ceiling
of a local business

It reminded me

Love is from above.

Beet Love

T'was a single drop

of beet juice

When I turned around

it had made a heart

Love's sweet surprise
