Waiting

close up photo of a red flower on a cliff in Currumbin beach on the Gold Coast

With sand on its face,
ocean breeze fading petals,
flower on sea cliff.

Stay

photo of the shadow of the photographer on sea waves close to the shore

Waves don’t wash away,
all that lingers in my mind,
a shadow of doubt.

Thing of beauty

photo of a still beach from afar
Sellicks beach, Adelaide

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

Prints

Random rock on O’Sullivan’s beach, Adelaide

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