Living

close up photo of a hollow tree bark, surrounded by tall green trees

Amidst dense forests,
perfectly preserved trees thrive—
broken ones survive.

Home

photo of a large lemon scented gumtree with an old house in the background

Home in a gumtree,
not so heritage listed—
lorikeets galore.

Exchange

Close up photo of a Sanyo television sitting on an old table along with an ol sofa and a few other things, cast outside the front door of a house, as hard rubbish

Old idiot box,
cast away for a smart one,
modern family.

Rest

photo of the sunset behind stormy clouds, emiting a deep orange colour, with a rose bush in the foreground

Sky puts on a show—
my roses and I enjoy,
after-work catchup.

At last

Photo of a large tree in an empty suburban street. There are streaks of white clouds against a blue sky and tyre skid marks on the bitumen.

Clouds claw through the skies,
wild tyres screech across our roads—
summer has arrived.
