Haiku Dreaming Australia - Coast

beach sunset
a frangipani trodden
into wet sand

reef dive
a turtle climbs green water
into the blue

old dinghy
sinks under waves
of dune grass

seaside bench —
an old man looks for sand
between his toes

walking the breakwall
a stingray
keeping pace

turn of the tide –
the sea taking back
its jellyfish

white beach–
the old shipwreck's
rust stains

I fill a hole
in the Pacific Ocean
white clouds

back from the beach
unpacking
the summer heat
