what the tide leaves

what the tide leaves --
bleached shells, driftwood, and seaweed
on a sandy beach

sea grape bushes

wind rustling through
a row of sea grape bushes
summertime chimes

Afternoon cleansing

sharp, bitter smell
after a hard rain
so cleansing

Transit of Ray Bradbury

dandelion snow
wafted by a breeze
so effortlessly

Mermaids' purses
found empty at a beach
pick pockets?

Soft breeze

a soft breeze
cools a baby's cheeks
her mom's kiss

Soldier beetle

On a blade of grass
a soldier beetle dances
unaccompanied
