Tanka

.

. . back from a week's vacation at Gulf Shores, Alabama with my grandsons

 

 

late sun, early moon

in the leaning light a child

sitting in the sand

her shadow swimming away

as she crawls in the tide pools

Very nice, Fog. I like the "leaning light."

I'm not much for structured poems but your impeccable sense of place imagery and time takes this one into my " like very much" file

this brought back memories of my sons when young, we spent our summers on the beach, low water fishing, getting the rock oysters and - thank you for the lovely memories you have invoked with this
