Beachcomber's Pantoum

Everyday I calculate the tides
Adjust the planned activities in store
An open gaze reveals what nature hides
Rolled from the sea collection to the shore.

Adjust the planned activities in store
Exciting walk that promises surprise
Rolled from the sea collection to the shore
To find and catch with quickest hands and eyes.

Exciting walk that promises surprise
A perfect fan or spiral, white or black
To find and catch with quickest hands and eyes
Stripes, patterns, curls congregate in sack.

A perfect fan or spiral, white or black
Uncommon whelk or scallop burnished red
Stripes, patterns, curls congregate in sack
To fill the dreaming basket by the bed.

Uncommon whelk or scallop burnished red
An open gaze reveals what nature hides.
To fill the dreaming basket by the bed
Everyday I calculate the tides.
