Explosive

Photo of ocean waves crashing into the rocky cliff face at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast, Australia.

Crashing into rocks,
Splash! Roaring deafeningly,
as ocean, human.

Hello

Photo of the ocean as seen from atop a mountain with bright yellow flowers visible on the left side of the photograph.

Atop a mountain,
flowers gaze at the ocean—
rolling, it waves back.

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.

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.

Competing

view of the ocean in the distance and grassy path closeby with white clouds gathering overhead

Chasing their own tails,
bounding onto luscious fields,
ocean’s athletes, clouds.
