Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Grunion

Following high tide with full moon,

They come with waves upon the beach.

Instinctively they come to spoon,

Climactic passion hope to reach.

She twists herself into the sand,

As he does lie nearby to her.

Her eggs, his sperm unite as planned,

Fertilization to occur.

When done they catch a wave to go

Back to their lives, both he and she.

Later their hatched offspring will know

To leave the beach and go to sea.

Procreation does be their wish,

To make more of the grunion fish.
