Haiku + Senryu

Haiku is a seasonal, reverent celebration of a subject (nature or people) trying to make a feeling.
Senryu tends to have a victim and may be humorous or irreverant trying to make a point.
- paraphrased from Michael Dylan Welch's Graceguts

wild outdoor party
winter-logged guests are welcome
to stay inside

eerie winds moan
translucent mists blur
guarded party doors

bagel...




little sand snail
celebrates new summer with
a living bagel


NOTE
Sand snails lay eggs in kidney-shaped egg jellies.
If you hold one up to the light, you will see spots inside which are the tiny eggs.
This photo was taken at Rosebud beach.

does a rising resort need

The new 2 storey Nepean resort is being built right next door to old St Mark's church in Dromana.
They are both right opposite the beach.
