Problem solving

photo of a person's hand on a laptop, with a black catch sleeping on the keyboard, its paw on the laptop screen

Cat and its human
solve all of life’s conundrums
just scratching at screens

Walker

photo of a golden retriever on a leash, walking along a trail, as seen by the photographer walking behind the dog

I follow along,
ever faithful companion
to my retriever.

Humid

Photo of the early orange colours of the sunrise behind tropical trees.

Four o’clock sunrises:
fogging up my camera,
Brisbane humid air.

Preoccupied

photo of a security worker looking at his phone, while ahead of him, a Christmas light show plays on a large building

We consider life
gazing deep into our phones
while Santa dances

Fussy

Close up photo of a lettuce seedling and a mushroom nearby.

High maintenance greens;
two months to grow three inches—
mushrooms take a day.
