All over the place,
red daggers in our backyard:
Pōhutukawa.

Codependency

A human wonder,
architectural marvel;
through majestic trees.

Sunrise

Photo of the sun rising behind the Skycity tower in Auckland, as seen from the suburbs.

Bright summer mornings,
sunrise on the horizon—
rays of happiness.

Public treasure

photo of Rangitoto Island as seen from behind a canopy of tree on Takapuna Beach — Rangitoto Island, Auckland

Hiding in plain sight
treasures we already own,
yet forget: mountains.

Auckland

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

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