Night-time

photo of an empty street at night with the orange glow of the street light illuminating an flame-like sculpture by the pavement

Critters of the night,
soft-trodden and starry-eyed—
rise when daylight falls

Morning

photo of early shades of sunrise, with orange and blue in the horizon

Crack open a red,
flavour notes of crisp orange—
good morning sunshine.

Tall

photo of a tall palm tree towering over other trees around it, in the Adelaide Botanical Gardens

Giraffe of trees, palm,
vantage to rest of the world,
and its destruction.

Good times

photo of reddish-orange autumn leaves in trees, taken from the footpath on a street

Once upon a time
we only marched on fall leaves—
may that time return.

Phew

photo of a tree at night with a wavy cloud over it

Exhausted old tree,
sighs deep on a summer night,
a cloud is scattered.
