morning tides
erase yesterday's footprints
and sandcastles

waves renew
their schedules
their art

I #mediate between
my concepts of
to and fro
rise and fall
here and there

permanence
leans on
the controversial
yin and yang status
of now#vss365 #tanka #haiku #micropoetry

feel the blesings of the waters...

go down to the bays

and enjoy the dancing waves

be friends with wide seas

they give horizons

respect the odd tides for

warning messages

hear, see and feel 

the blessings of waters

they could be a sign of

incoming journeys

waves upon waves...

waves upon waves
a windy spring generates
tunnels of turmoil#haiku

on this chilled but sunny day...

on this chilled
but sunny day
waves rumbled to shore
not one surfer contested
their freedom ride#tanka

May's subtle beauties...

May's subtle beauties
rippling silvered greys
soothe my lonely grief#haiku

📷Cool autumn morning at Blairgowrie Beach on the Mornington Peninsula. It would have been my Dad's birthday today. I lost him many a year ago when I was just 12. So wish I could have really known him. pic.twitter.com/Ib01e9RHil

a curled wave of stormy water...

a curled wave of
stormy water
tamed by teacup walls
art drinks a sip of
iconic art
