Crab [Lyric Poem]

Not sure whether to call the crab "monstrous," 
Or, rather, to class it "preposterous?"
Claw outsized, staggering like drunken ants,
If I saw one dog-sized, I'd crap my pants.

Crab Scramble [Haiku]

a crab scrambles.
 below: rocks and 
  roiling water

Crab Gravity [Haiku]

a crab on a rock -
 another above, who's to say
  who's upside-down?

Crab Awareness [Haiku]

the crab that scurries
when i come within ten feet,
caught unaware by waves

Crab Phalanx [Haiku]

fiddler crabs
form a phalanx;
claws ready

Claw Harvesters [Common Meter]

The crab, it had one tiny claw;
it couldn't be its first.
What kind of species harvests limbs?
Oh, they must be the worst.

IMG_1694This photo turned out a bit otherworldly. It’s a crab on a barnacle-covered rock who is about to be swamped by a boulder-churned slab of white water.
