Abandoned, yellow, plastic starfish smiling,
Passed on to waving toddler.
Pampered child crying,
Enjoying being inconsolable
Bikini body show,
Strutting wares,
Muscled surfboard daddies,
Looking cool
Nippy, at eighty-three,
A true beauty queen
No perfect shells for me,
But shards tumbled smooth,
In dancing patterns, and
Glistening hues of ruby-red,
Gold-to-brown, gray and white
