I love pools
you never know
what you might find
in them.
Seaside pools are
lined with soft, green furry
seaweed
like mermaids' hair.
Russet, fleshy
fronds of sea anemones
wave their stubby arms.
Crabs scuttle in the sandy bottom
and tiny fish
dart and hide
waiting for the rising tide.
Today the pools collect the sun
and clouds
and shining on the surface
the image of a man---
putting his
boots on.
