Marvel

Photo of the run reflected in the glass window of a tall building, as seen from a building opposite to it.

Eye of the tower
glowing with Cyclops power—
marvel of the sun.

Banksia

Close up photo of the leaves of a banksia tree. — Banksia, a native Australian tree named after the European botanist, Joseph Banks.

Native wild flora
dotted along city streets—
ode to tourist Banks.

Autumn

Photo of clouds gathering over a tree with autumnal leaves, the sun shining brightly from outside the frame.

All the clouds gather,
ferrying sunshine along
to see leaves blushing.

Foreshadow

Photo of the sun rising from behind the Rio Tinto building (amongst others) in the Perth CBD. — Perth city

The sun shines over
new Rio Tinto building;
calm before the storm.

Like no one’s watching

Photo of a line of gum trees at sunrise, gently swaying in the breeze.

Dancing to sunrise,
grooves to birdsong in the breeze—
lemon-scented gum.
