The Creek
lift wet stone from creek
wet bare feet, soaked blue jeans
crayfish* between toes
for One Deep Breath poetry
*Crayfish (Northeast, Great Lakes)
Crawdad (Southeast, Midwest, Plains)
Crawfish (All over U.S.)
oh yes, I get a very feel "wet" effect here with all that water around… so youve done this very well…..oh I hate the feeling of wet jeans! As for crayfish between the toes….dont they nip? I’d be running the other way away from them….lol…. I am loving these haikus….such short lovely vigniettes but in a condensed form…..love em!
Yes! I love them too. And, yes I think they (crayfish) probably did nip or pinch or something but were relatively harmless. Some folks eat them, especially in the deep South, sort of a poor mans mini-lobster.
Thanks for stopping by.
