Posing

photo of a large leafless tree with its limbs leaning towards one side and clouds surrounding the tree's limbs against a blue sky

Robed in milky clouds,
her stretched limbs embracing life—
gumtree dances, still.

Spotted

Close up photo of an agapanthus flower and a spider web wrapped around it

A master spinner
captures many hearts, spider,
leaves a deathly trail

Fading

close up photo of a dead, crumbling flower

Once upon a time
tender life brought happiness—
flowers also die

An end

Photo of the sun setting behind tall buildings

Fireball in the sky
ominously sinks to earth
darkness is nigh here

Hidden

closeup photo of the stigma and style of a hibiscus flower

Raising its arm high
to be seen, heard, recognised,
back bench hibiscus.
