Pretty

Photo of purple wisteria hanging over a brick wall.

The nosy neighbour,
peering over our fences:
sweet wisteria.

Weeds

Close up photo of white sorrel flowers on the ground.

Gathering of weeds,
basking in the spring sunshine,
colonise footpaths.

Approval

Close up photo of three-cornered leeks, facing downwards.

Seeking approval,
looking demurely downwards—
three-cornered leek blooms.

Peace

Photo of a park bench with a cherry blossom tree overhead, casting its shadow over the bench.

Pocketfuls of peace,
blossoming tree overhead;
date with a park bench.

Promotion

Close up photo of a rose in a bush with several other roses around it.

A sea of roses
at the top of their careers
waiting to be picked.
