Stop thief!

dark clouds hovering over the city on a summer afternoon, Canberra

They’ve stolen the sun,
season’s greatest cover up—
dark clouds gathering.

I see you

a pair of purple swamphens, one looking directly at the camera, Canberra — Purple swamphens by the Lake Ginninderra, Canberra

Moving gingerly,
as predator towards prey,
worm eater locks eyes.

Fighter

a single eucalypt tree standing against a blue sky, Canberra

Battling with the blues,
fifty shades of greenery;
therapist, nature.

Explore

raindrops on a plum tree, Canberra

Life’s hidden treasures,
little moments on sidewalks;
rain drops on fruit trees.

Order

As school marching band,
shaven sides, prim and proper;
municipal trees.
