Auckland

Photo of private boats in the ocean, as seen from Auckland city.

The city of sails—
a fleet awaits instructions,
dully fog descends.

Morning

close up photo of a small bunch of yellow and white daisies on the sidewalk

It’s sunny side up;
tiny daisies on the street—
a cracking morning.

Brave

close up photo of a bunch of yellow clivias in bloom, and a smaller bunch of red clivias in the background

Amongst the yellows
courageously reds stand out
robust clivias.

Fog

Photo of a plane’s wing, flying through mild fog, as seen through the plane’s window.

I wake to engines—
inside, my brain fog clears up,
outside it descends.

Dance

Photo of ceiling lights, made up of little green lights.

A dance of shadows:
emeralds in the ceiling
lighting up the room.
