Blush

photo of the pinkish horizon of the setting sun, with two pink rose buds in the foreground

Late springtime sunset—
mimicking the horizon,
my pink roses blush.

Christmas

Photo of the Adelaide Town hall, with a giant red bow on its facade — Adelaide Town Hall, a concert venue

Town hall flaunts a bow,
welcoming concert goers,
and costumed santas.

Rainfed

Flaunting plump raindrops,
proudly across a pink face,
pimply hibiscus.

Blossom

close up photo of a pink rose with the deep blue-pink of the sunset in the background

Swallowing the sun,
the night creeps over our homes,
a new rose blushes.

Bridge

photo of the Matagarup Bridge in Perth as seen while walking under it — Matagarup Bridge, Perth

Intricate metal,
stretched across the horizon,
of concrete jungle.
