Good Evening, poet
This is a fun poem and one, oh so true, for
beach goers. One must avoid the crabs and other
things in the sand while at the beach. you've made me
want to go back to the shore before it gets too cold.
A good poem. Thanks for sharing.

Great pairing of photo and poem, which is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
Good use of enjambment to make this one continuous statement
I like the tone of warning and the strong visual you create :-) Brooke

Comment from Sally Carter
A delightful little 5-7-5. It's rather liberating to have a contest that just focuses on the syllable count, without other rules to work out.
I enjoyed the evocation of senses - I was feeling my toes in the sand, the cold water at my feet, and seeing those creatures walking sideways along the beach.
Nice personification of the crabs. It sounds as if they are very prolific in this place. Or perhaps they are so confident in their claws they know no one will challenge them.
Best wishes for the contest,
Sally

Comment from Always enjoying
The message is clear - the warning is expressed directly. Interesting theme, I like it. Works as a metaphor when you think about it.

There is no rhyme to this type of poem which was stated in the rules for this contest. I thank you for reviewing but would you please redo your review. It would mean a lot. Thanks.

You have done a good job with your 5-7-5 writing prompt.
The picture compliments the poem and helps us visualize that crab scurrying all over the beach. Yes, watch out for those pinchers! Good job and good luck!

Interesting poem. The picture supports it, but one with a whole bunch of crabs would have been even better. Too bad there wasn't a footprint beside the crab.
Thanks for sharing, Brent.

I agree those crabs are everywhere. LOL And believe me when I say some are down right fierce little creatures. Great poem. It flowed very well. Thanks for sharing. ~ Rose

The picture and the words convey the image perfectly. The last line with the crabs owning the beach is definitely a sting in the tail! I would be interested to read other longer poems of yours some time. Commendable.
