1330

[AI generated, i used Bibg]

 Its alive, it moved

She poked the sand with a stick

Something like eyes stared

Lot of eyes, looking angry

She shivered, jumped back

In sheer surprise of this thing

Scowling in the sand

Had she known she would have left

Right there and then, but

Curiosity held her

Like butter on bread

Halloween night, time of fright

Fantasy holds fast

Imagination rambles

Blue crabs in dim light

Scuttled away in the night

    I don't know what it is about crabs that seem creepy. Is it because they are like spiders? I am such an arachnophobe! I don't like looking at crabs but I do like to eat them! Hahaha

    Crabs are otherworldly creatures in daylight, at night something altogether terrifying! Love the music. At first I thought he was saying, "I come for the poem." lol!

    Beautifully written, Gillena. I can see how blue crabs in the sand at night could be very creepy!
