Thing of beauty

photo of a still beach from afar — Sellicks beach, Adelaide

A face unblemished,
not even a pimple prick—
perfect model: beach.

Weak-kneed

photo of the shadow of a large flowering tree on a green patch, with its pink flowers on the ground, partly in shade

Taking a tumble,
clings to the ground for support—
unstable shadow.

Prints

close up photo of a rock on a beach, with coloured stripes on it — Random rock on O’Sullivan’s beach, Adelaide

A fashion statement—
stripes in contrasting colours,
catwalk of beach rocks.

Peace

photo of the rocky shoreline of O'Sullivan Beach in Adelaide — O’Sullivan Beach, Adelaide

A wandering soul
must have a beach of her own,
if she is to rest.

Sun flower

close up phto of a tniy sunflower, half opening, against a blue, cloudless sky

Closed up wallflower,
opening up to the world—
following the sun.
