Crustacean

A word I learn to spell

Confusing due to the ‘cean’ 

Rather than a ‘tion’ 

Meaning: a lobster or a kind of shellfish

‘Crusty’ probably, due to the shell

‘Cean’ I think now

Does that relate to ocean?

A difficult word on the spelling bee list.

How did crustacean come to exist?

    A collection I have started.

  • The Silver Lining

    I sit here.
    My planner open, pencil in hand, casually scribbling over all the events.
    That didn't happen.
    That won't happen.
    The fact that I have to sit, through ten more weeks, of going nowhere.

  • True Companion

    "Pen, please," I asked and I lifted the pen between my fingers as if it was moving on its own.
    But in my head, my friend named Natalie lifted the pen and passed it to me.
