she is a salty lady of the sea
unusual tentacles, more than three

beach bathers gather and laugh
creating sandcastles, their craft

she observes with an intense look
these fascinating entities deserve a book

she writes of humans, two legs, no tail
frolicking on sand, nothing like the mighty whale


her prose of people causes a stir
many sea creatures do not believe her

but she still watches from afar
as individuals frolick on a sand bar

she feels she must study lovers of land
understanding these beings is oh so grand
