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.

Memory

Photo of a bunch of daisies on a cliff edge at Currumbin beach, Queensland.

Daisies by the beach;
a hello and a goodbye—
remembering you.

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

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.
