Powdery white sand

shimmers its quartz in sunlight

stars twinkle on ground

Singing cardinal

joins the drumming woodpecker

branches take a bow

Fluttering pupa

amidst the dense, tall sand dunes

dotted flowers bloom

Sliding waves ashore

bring seaweeds, grasses, and more

crabs party with bugs

Diving pelican

grabs grub by its throat and stores

tiny fish floats by

Pushy winds force gulf

life sprouts off abandoned shells

birds gather and feed

Frolicking dolphins

blow bubbles following wakes

joyous children dance

Laughing gulls-Seagulls

flock flies as girl chases them

air fills with more laughs

Speeding dragon boat

zips past kayaks and swimmers

no riders aboard

Lifting her foot, girl

awakes colony of flies

many holes in stone

Digging under sand

mounts sand on top of wet sand

house becomes castle

Greenery on rock

slides and shifts with force of tide

algae underfoot

Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet-tweet

sounds rising from inside wrack

tweet, chirp, tweet-chirp-tweet

About to bear fruit

bespeckled with white flowers

lemon smell rises

Rotating bike wheels

leave tire marks on the sand

streaks change creation

Walking the soft sand

imprints under shoes lift ground

ants crawl on mountain

Rustling leaves sway right

where they started from and fro

whispers spread their wings

Gliding above gulf

watches prey from a distance

wet nose-wet body

Perching on lamp post

songbird sings with all her parts

thin wire vibrates

Moon rising on east

red sun setting on the west

eyes play ping-pong-ping

White powder turns dark

birds A-line flies west, to nest

umbrellas fold in
