Beach Park Tanka

Blue ocean vistas Rainforest encroaches down Tree roots over stone Vines reach, wind, twine and climb Clutching trees that cradle them Burleigh Heads beach path Pandanus groves, mangroves Strange variety Spiky bushes, towering trees Tiny flowers underfoot Raggy paperbarks, Log bridge, white sand, shallow creek Invisible birds give song Each day travel the same path Only to find it diff’rent.

Very creative! Enjoyed immensely. It's not the pivots that attracted my attention here...but the last lines in each of the stanzas. // paul
