Take solace

Rainbow coloured pashmina shawl — Rainbow shawl, a present from a friend

When distress descends,
watch the radiant joy flow—
rainbow on the wall.

Step out

Insect on my rocket plant

Clings to the rocket
a real-life superman—
things you see outdoors.

The land folk

Eucalyptus trees, Canberra

Native guardians,
though scarred and frayed, steady still,
rooted, stand their ground.

Same trees, different haiku. Here.

Attention seekers

Trees in Autumn, Canberra

Trees play with colour,
teasing eyes with illusions,
waiting to be seen.

Chilly days ahead

Trees in the beginning of winter — Second day of Winter in Canberra

Pray to the heavens,
to shower upon us love—
sunshine in winter.
