Fresh

close up photo of an orange rose and rain droplets on its leaf.

A tear drop or two,
refreshes the mind and soul;
garden after rain.

Recipe for success

Close up photo of a bowl of dried peas, and empty pea pods along the edge of the bowl.

All we ever need,
are peace, love, and vegetables—
better if homegrown.

Let it be

Close up photo showing new growth on a giant, old tree.

Dormant ancient tree,
ageing, greying, still standing:
life survives and thrives.

Gone

Setting sun visible through garden tree canopies.

Watering our plants,
we look over the fencing—
the day got away.

So be it

I pour blood and sweat
into preparing the soil;
galahs eat my fruit.
