Homeward

photo of light sunset over the Auckland city shoreline, as seen from the window of a tall building with boats on the water

Boats drop their anchors,
sun sets over our city,
lovers going home.

Noncommittal

photo of private boats by the shore in Wellington, New Zealand.

Ships at the ready,
lined up on our city’s shores;
neutral hobbyists.

Bay watch

Day out by the bay:
when the blues overwhelm you
greenery brings calm.

Fade

Photo of the post-sunset glow in the sky, as seen through the canopy of a large tree.

As the daylight fades,
eyes of the city twinkle,
fire ball drowns the sky.

Crown

Photo of an old Victorian-style building.

A crown overhead
towers over everyone;
old architecture.
