Flip-Side

Elegant minimalist words
Clean sans-serif font
Environmentally inspired
Forest management

Slouch
On the chaise-lounge
After a full English
With extra toast

Roll

By page six
You have used
The d word twice
I notice this

Because I too have the d
Like, like, like
As if
As if you cared

For the surf dude
So slim, so sublime
As he rides, strides

The light fantastic
On the rolling crests 

Yet for the first time 
I understand
The need for
Techniques at play

The twists
The forceful skips

Even the neatness
To step aside

Before our wave is spent

Fog

The vacuum cleaner masks the raging sea
The days cleaning awakened in earnest
Guests that pour out into the rain
The b&b landladies expectation

To be blown right off the pier
Take pictures for relation
Ships that pull closer
Over and out

Gentleman

A change in deportment
Ever so slightly withheld 
A feign to the existential

A well-practiced hand gesture
A gentle slow-roll of the wrist
Waves the ladies on through

Half-Beat

Slow down, almost to a stop
No please, keep walking
Kick the pebble, with nonchalance
From the tar-macadam pavement
Onto the miserable dried-out grass verge
