Auckland

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

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

Windsurfer

says hello to seagull friends
expert windsurfer.

Brave

Tall and spiky palm—
she’s not a Disney princess,
Brave nevertheless.

Cherry

Fifty shades of green—
as far as the eye could see,
pink cherry on top.

Tiny

Tiny wooden bench
underneath a giant tree;
human life on earth.
