Theatre

Photo of a child sat on the floor of at the train station, watching a group of Christmas carol singers, while the child’s mother stands beside him.

Joy of theatre
worth sitting on the floor for—
mum’s errands can wait.

Puppy

Close up photo of a puppy, rugged up, sleeping on a bed.

Our bundle of joy—
drooling all over the bed,
marks territory.

Wait

Close up photo of a golden retriever sitting in a balcony, looking down at the street.

All senses heightened,
staring down a corridor—
child awaits her mum.

Leaves

photo of a mostly-bare tree branch, with some yellow and green leaves remain

Making way for change:
mother tree lets offspring go;
teen moves out of home

Growing up

Storm clouds gathering,
taking off against the wind—
child leaves parents’ home.
