Rainfed

close up photo of a pink hibiscus flower after the rain, with raindrops on its surface

Flaunting plump raindrops,
proudly across a pink face,
pimply hibiscus.

Blossom

close up photo of a pink rose with the deep blue-pink of the sunset in the background

Swallowing the sun,
the night creeps over our homes,
a new rose blushes.

Bridge

photo of the Matagarup Bridge in Perth as seen while walking under it — Matagarup Bridge, Perth

Intricate metal,
stretched across the horizon,
of concrete jungle.

Native

photo of a Moreton Bay fig tree and its widespread roots — Moreton Bay fig or Moraceae, a species of trees endemic to eastern Australia

Engulfing the earth,
casting its roots far and wide,
native tree reclaims.

Showoff

photo of a tall gumtree just after the rain

With renewed vigour,
flaunts its luscious head of hair—
gumtree after storm.
