Flash

Photo of pink clouds at sunset, with old suburban houses and trees in the foreground.

Showing off like teens,
catching sunsets in their hairs;
old suburban homes.

Pray

Photo of a leafless tree nearby a church, with the afternoon sun shining from behind it.

Worthy of worship,
the tree outside the chapel:
halo around it.

Heat

Photo of the sun’s glare, in a diamond shape, with an almond flower-laden tree.

Laundry rejoices—
diamond blazes in the sky
in depths of winter.

Sunshine

Close up photo of the flowers of a purple-podded pea plant, with the afternoon sun in the background.

Soaking up the sun,
veins reviving in the warmth,
young peas look alive.

Arrival

Close up photo of a bunch of golden wattle flowers on the tree.

What perfect season—
baubles on the trees above;
golden wattle beams.
