Oh my little sea anemone
I didn’t know your name
Or if your game included me
My intrusion, your confusion
My bucket list of fickleness
But somehow I knew
I knew you would reach for me
The first time I touched you
Sea anemone, Laguna Beach
Written for Poetics: “first things first”. Kelly has returned for a visit and has asked us to write a poem about a first. This brief interaction was most likely a first for both of us.

This is so sweet… I have always felt I would touch them, but at the same time been careful… somehow they are quite cute.
Yes, I know that some are dangerous/poisonous, not these ones…they are very interesting creatures.
Aw, that made me smile. I love it!
Thanks, Kelly. 🙂
Makes me think of the time I stroked manta rays (at an aquarium)…just awesome!
Sea life is so peculiar and intriguing. Thanks, Lynn.
A sea anemone?!! I was convinced I was reading about a lover.
🙂 hehe…thanks for reading, Misky.
Wow~ What an experience and I see that you have been at Laguna beach which I went to also this summer. Love that picture too Mish ~
Oh wonderful…yes, the beach is breathtaking. Thanks, Grace.
They look so fragile, vulnerable and touchable! The beach is mesmerizing!
