Lost

Photo of a tall light post and an even taller palm tree against the sunset in the background.

Sadly, head hung low,
outgrown by competition,
lamp post turns away.

Curl

Photo of the setting in the background and the silhouettes of trees in the foreground.

Another day gone,
daylight folds in on itself—
introvert curls up.

Blotchy

Photo of the top of Sky Tower with a row of green trees in front of it and white wispy clouds in the background.

Blotchy white patches,
watercolours on canvas—
night clouds glow with rain.

Fresh

close up photo of a thin layer of moss on an old tree stump

Tiny specks of green;
damp tree stump gets a jacket
all glossy—fresh moss.

Flowers

Photo of white-petal flowers strewn on a green lawn., with dried and brown leaves along the edge.

Scattered in our parks
life, dying and decaying—
little white petals.
