Noncommittal

photo of private boats by the shore in Wellington, New Zealand.

Ships at the ready,
lined up on our city’s shores;
neutral hobbyists.

Bay watch

Day out by the bay:
when the blues overwhelm you
greenery brings calm.

Fade

Photo of the post-sunset glow in the sky, as seen through the canopy of a large tree.

As the daylight fades,
eyes of the city twinkle,
fire ball drowns the sky.

Crown

Photo of an old Victorian-style building.

A crown overhead
towers over everyone;
old architecture.

Faces

Strange faces abound
on the streets and in my home—
some of them funny.
