Shimmer

Contradicts itself,
reflecting on surroundings—
shimmering water.

Hidey

Close up photo of a tiny sea snail, snuggled into a hole in a rock on the beach.

Tiny life hideout:
in the vast space of ocean,
bottom of a rock.

Greetings

Photo of the sun rising from behind the canopy of trees.

Streaming through the trees,
casts a glow on the city—
greets the day: our sun.

Gold rush

Photo of a walking trail with eucalyptus trees on either side. The leaves on the trees are dry and browning, and the ground is covered in golden-brown leaves.

The lucky country:
there’s treasure above the ground,
along tree-lined trails

Mysterious

A grumpy old hag:
bit sinister, magical;
well-lived banksia.
