Flowering gum

Close up photo of the leaves of a flowering gumtree.

Wise old eucalypt
doesn’t cry over dead branches—
it only flowers.

Afterlife

Photo of a dead cedar tree by the river.

Branchless and bare-bones;
the once-magnificent tree:
an ecosystem.

Winter is coming

Photo of a suburban street lined with autumnal trees.

Autumn comes to town
flaunting her shiny red skirts;
toad stools seek a kiss.

Wait

Photo of a red flower laying on a cliff on an ocean.

Alone and forlorn
lays on a bare ocean cliff—
red flower, for love.

Hello world

Photo of a walking trail, surrounded by tall and lush trees, in a national park.

I greet the neighbours,
gently walking through the woods—
the wild hellos back.
