Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
track memories, not sand, into the house

flip flops held in hand: 5-7-5 suite

by Sis Cat

flip flops held in hand
wet toes trudge across the sand
feet dipped in stardust

sparkle in the sun
smiles and waves grasp memories
kids play at the sea

tanned, encrusted legs
track the oceanfront indoors
sand backs up the tub



Recognized


The bus door opened at a stop along a beach in Mexico. I saw on the top step children feet covered in sand. They sparkled in the sun. I boarded the bus. As it weaved around a cliff above the ocean, I wrote a series of three linked 5-7-5 to capture the image of sparkling feet.
