Joy

Photo of a wattle tree’s branch leaning into a walking track.

Little yellow bulbs,
lean into my walking track,
remind me to spring.

Head first

Close up photos of the leaves of a red gum tree.

Earthy, floral smells—
hiking in this bush country;
my walk in wardrobe.

Sunning

Photo of a row of leafless trees on the side of the road, on a partly cloudy day.

Warming their bare wings,
deciduous trees line up—
late-winter sunshine.

Seasons

Close up photo of a wattle tree branch and the winter afternoon sun filtering through it.

Filters through dense fog:
little rebel winter sun,
springs into wattle.

Party trick

Photo of a chandelier style ceiling light, casting its shadows on the ceiling.

Vintage chandelier,
charming a new audience—
throwing globes around.
