Ninth Place -- 7 Points

deserted wharf
swept by winter rain--
the neon crab blinks

I admire the restraint of the poet for not saying "winks". This is both funny and an excellent picture of a chill, wet place that is often bustling. The cold rain that drives people away would make it feel more like home to a real crab.

when it's this cold and miserable, it's good to see the humor of a big blinking crab

I liked number one (deserted wharf) because after reading it I felt as if I were on that wharf watching that neon crab blink. The images were that visual.
