Winter is coming

photo of the pre-sunrise glow in the horizon, as seen from King's Park in Perth with the ocean visible

Gently a breeze blows,
creates waves on the ocean—
a city shivers.

Dance

Photo of a leafless tree, with the early sunrise colours in the backdrop.

Wind scattering clouds,
like dancing stick figurines—
bony-limbed old tree.

Rise and shine

Photo of the pre-sunrise glow in the horizon.

A prolonged labour—
then gloriously crowning,
sun rises; rejoice!

Marvel

Photo of the run reflected in the glass window of a tall building, as seen from a building opposite to it.

Eye of the tower
glowing with Cyclops power—
marvel of the sun.

Banksia

Close up photo of the leaves of a banksia tree. — Banksia, a native Australian tree named after the European botanist, Joseph Banks.

Native wild flora
dotted along city streets—
ode to tourist Banks.
