Feast

Photo of a big bee on a bunch of flowers.

Summer in the south

Christmas and new year parties

even the bees feast

Bound

Photo of a bunch of purple hydrangeas.

Handcuffed together
hydrangea in summertime,
there are no loopholes

Glow

Ok hoot do the pink-orange glow of the predawn, as seen through the light curtains of a bedroom window.
Wellington, New Zealand, just before sunrise. #NoFilter

I wake to a glow
alien pink filters in
my window at five

Lights

Photo of a Pōhutukawa tree in full bloom on a street corner on an overcast day.
Pōhutukawa, also known as Christmas tree, is endemic to New Zealand.

Tiny Christmas lights
bringing joy to street corners
Pōhutukawa.

Excess

Photo of a giant tree trunk, its branches cut off.

“Branches” seems surplus;
limbs of giant ancient trees,
cutting “arms” sounds bad.
