March on

Embrace the tailwind,
our universe is cheering;
march on, brave soldier.

Resilient

Hardy almond grows
leaning towards the sunshine—
survivor mindset.

Great war

Photo of a suburban road with a line power poles on one side and a row of gum trees on the other. — A Stobie pole is a power line pole built using two steel beams with concrete in between them. It was invented by James Cyril Stobie as an alternative to traditional poles due to a shortage of suitable timber in South Australia. It’s still widely prevalent in the state and some other Australian cities.

Facing off in style:
gum trees versus Stobie poles,
a battle for life.

Hide

Buried in sorrow
although you hide from the world
the sun finds your face.

Waking

First ray of sunshine
on a windy winter’s day
flowers start to stir.
