Disappearing act

Summer sunset, Canberra

Fiery ball of light,
melting in the cold darkness,
as candle, sunset.

Guard

Telstra Tower as seen from across the Lake Burley Griffin — Canberra’s iconic Telstra Tower, from across the Lake Burley Griffin

Beneath the cobwebs,
as a knight in shining suit,
guards land, monument.

Journey

Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra

To faraway sands,
setting sail, seeking future;
the lost treasure: soul.

Unapologetic

Lake Ginninderra, Canberra

Flaunting its backside,
casts away the bore; swan scales
vibrant horizons.

Own it

National Botanical Gardens, Canberra

Springing out from earth,
spiky green and spotty brown;
reclaims space, nature.
