Little things

Photo of a suburban street with flowering jacaranda trees on both sides, and a shooting star in a cloudless deep blue sky.

Taken for granted:
shooting stars, dropping flowers,
and peace on our streets.

Buzz

photo of a blue Lancer parked under three blooming jacaranda trees

Parked under a tree;
the bees on my bonnet seek
jacaranda blooms.

Hazy

Photo of the sunset in the horizon, as seen from the window seat of a plane that’s making a sharp turn.

Sunset’s all a blur,
the heavens are falling through:
sharp turns on a plane.

Fly in, fly out

photo of the Adelaide coast line as seen from the window seat of an airplane on a cloudy day

Going coast to coast
living life on the edges
never belonging.

Give way

Wander round-about,
give way to scorching summer
and jacarandas.
