Lady Bay Beach

 Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

perpetual snow
reflects the sunlight
i dream of a nude beach

Chevrefeuille




Lady Jane  , now called Lady Bay,  is a beautiful secluded harbour beach with a stunning view of Sydney. It has been allocated as a nude beach . From the walkway above the beach to South Head, one is subjected to the sight of dangling male appendages , perhaps posing for photo opportunities or whatever , for the passersby. Curiously I have yet to see a naked woman on this beach, which may have something to do with the change of name from Lady Jane to Lady Bay.



Unknown to many, this area is potentially a jurisdictional nightmare. Any unseemly behaviour occuring in the water is the responsibility of the Maritime Services Authority, whereas if it occurs on the sand it is the responsibility of the National Parks and Wildlife .
If it occurs on the rocks it is officially a" grey area" and no government department or local council wants to take responsibility.



I have always wanted to swim at this beach , so next summer Rall is proposing (not nude but fully decked out in a wet suit of course) to give it a shot. No doubt I will be breaching a regulation touching upon political correctness offending nudists and/or other minorities.  If challenged I will clamber to the rocks, seeking jurisdictional immunity and remain there until a passing boat rescues me from my " grey area"

sad fruit
dangling from the trees
scaring the wildlife



magpie tales


poor perpetua
still in shock
after passing lady bay beach
on her school excursion  walk
to south head
may give up her dream
of marrying a life saver
and enter a nunnery instead

Water Bearer

dripping wet moon
the water bearer spills
water from the bowl

Chevrefeuille.

spilling the water
tripping over a continent
he formed an ocean

big juicy hamburger
there's a message here
no?

maybe

Goldfish And Guns


3WW
raspy obedient sombre

there was no point
in him making threats
demanding obedience
in a raspy voice with a gun

fish was disengaged
swimming round and round
year in year out
sombre and self absorbed
trying to make sense of it all
