This is another of my holiday photographs, the beach at Mt Maunganui. As we were outside the school holiday period, we had it largely to ourselves much of the time.
deserted beach - the incoming tide covers my footprints
She tried hard to be like the others/she struggled to catch a ball/she never quite managed a cartwheel/after much practice she stood on her head./When she grew up she turned to science/she thought she would turn the world upside down/after a while she realised that the world had stayed in its proper place all along/and she was still standing on her head.

Your visual, poem reminds me how I love the ocean
Beautiful haiku and beautiful photo. I'd like to walk along that beach.
What a lovely beach to walk along! Very evocative haiku too.
Beautiful photo and beautiful haiku to match.
Absolutely beautiful together!
That looks and sounds like a little slice of heaven....
It's an amazing feeling to be homesick for a place I've never been to....
That is a beautiful beach. I want to go there too. I love being on deserted beaches, where the only footsteps for the tide to cover are you own.
I love an isolated beach and your haiku said it beautifully :)
Glad you enjoyed the pics.
I am itching to make some solitary footprints :)
A nice place to be alone.
simply lovely, wish I was there!
the depth a few well put words can conjure, such ebb and flow, it stirs profoundly!
This is why I love winter beaches. Solitude and disappearing footprints.
