Skyscrapers

Photo of the Sky City tower as seen from below. — Sky City, Auckland.

Unfazed by traffic
the giraffes in our cities
nibble on grey clouds.

Approval

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

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

Island

Rangitoto Ialand

Forming tiny mounds
on shores of Rangitoto—
ocean laps away.

Flush

Kidney fern, endemic to New Zealand.

Tiny kidney fern:
flushing out bad vibrations,
helps earth breathe easy.

Uplifting

Photo of a row of poppies in a public garden with the Sky City tower in the background, Auckland. — Auckland City, New Zealand.

Poppies in all shades
pop up every spring morning
Uplifting spirits.
