Message in a basket

Found a little handmade basket 
Washed up along the shore
Thought it was a bird's nest
Turned out to be so much more
Someone had made an effort
Tied all together with coloured string
A cuttlefish for a bird to eat?
An amazing petrified seahorse...
Long straws artfully woven together
Fox-tail grass in patterns underneath
Maybe the work of a little girl
Maybe from across the seas
Made me look in absolute wonder
At this amazing little contraption
Caught up among straggly branches
Of the dried out old ghostly tree...
