Photo of a garbage bin on the curb in an Auckland street. — This garbage bin in Auckland is significantly smaller than bins in Australia.

Smaller garbage bins,

fewer landfills in our towns;

wishful thought, perhaps.

Green pastures

Photo of the city of Wellington as seen from the top of a hill, standing near a sprawling tree which is visible in the top right of the photo.

Standing by a tree,
looking out at the buildings—
seeking green pastures.

Right of way

Photo of a big old tree slightly leaning towards a walking trail leading into the bush.

A tree in my way
I wondered swerving around;
my way was in its.

Farewell

Photo of the ocean, as seen from the road with clouds spread out, appearing as if to move left to right.

Windiest city:
clouds sweeping to fare me well,
dog chases the car.

Greet

Close up photo of a sunflower.

All hail the sunshine
greeting the lord with finesse—
common sunflower.
