New life

Close up photo of new leaves growing on an old chilli plant.

My chilli has sprung:
she held her breath all winter,
now her leaves exhale.

Joy

Close up photos of big white daisies, indirectly lit by a street light at night.

Glowing from within,
white daisy in the darkness;
heart full of happy.

Pearls

Close up photo of a flowering wattle bush on the ground.

Scattered on the ground:
pearls of a precious lady;
wattle of this land.

Party trick

Photo of a chandelier style ceiling light, casting its shadows on the ceiling.

Vintage chandelier,
charming a new audience—
throwing globes around.

Almost

Close up photo of apricot flower buds on a tree.

Cold feet wearing off,
the buds are ready to pop
spring is almost here.
