Roaming waters ultra deep
restless fins hunt for sexy swimmers
Jaws was here but I hope he’s gone
but his teeth live in my lost and found.
I walk the beach and they find me there
washing ashore or in the sand between toes
some large, some small I grab them all
and they keep showing up like magic.
They say they’re fossils a million years old
but all I know as long as they’re not attached
to a face with thousand all shiny and white
my legs in the water will be alright.
A fun foray I always find
with my Ziplock bag and a wet behind
from leaning to grab it before its gone
blindsided by the wave that came in fast
sunglasses wet and face of salt
but a smile from ear to ear
as I open my hand and find the big one
laying there.
My latest haul for two hours at the beach walking in knee-deep water and also just on the beach. A good day indeed, and when the jar is filled, Lovie will buy a new one to start again. We are in the “sharks tooth capital” here, and it is certainly living up to its name.
Hehe! I’ve going to French Lycée where my daughters studied, like one a week lately, as they have a lot of donated books on sale for 1.50 buck. (I must be mad, I already have 30 cartons of books packed and I’ve barely started…) 😉

Thank you Kim, you too. Hadn’t thought about the dishes. Cold water just doesn’t cut it. Lots of sun, sea and sand with plenty of shark teeth. 😉 ❤

Hubby is doing well too, although I think he gets a bit bored occasionally…needs some hobby’s or something. Me, I can write all day and never tire of it but gotta spend time with him too. Out to dinner tonight, and new hot water tank tomorrow…no more cold showers. YAY! 🙂

I collect rocks, stones and crystals too, but the teeth I find for free….an endless ocean full of them, I figure I have a whole lifetime ahead of me to collect some so the next jar will be larger…..gives me something to do, I’m not one for laying on a beach basking aimlessly, like a border collie, gotta do something😊 thanks Sue, glad you enjoyed my fun😊

These are truly amazing. I love things like this, and what a great treasure for collecting. That would be so much fun. Your poem is also great, as usual. 🙂 I have no sharks teeth, so I collect rocks, minerals and crystals. However, if I don’t find them I go out and buy them. Shopping!
