Dozing

Photo of a black cat stretched out in the bed, sleeping.

It’s too hot to move,
summertime in the tropics—
dozing cat tells all.

Wildlife

Photo of a wallaby in a suburban street, standing on the front lawn of a house.

Startled at first sight
wide-eyed with piqued interest,
wilderness meets life.

Hold

Close up photo of a tightly bound bud of a yellow flower.

Wrapped up quite tightly,
flower bud clings to future—
as a baby’s palm.

Problem solving

photo of a person's hand on a laptop, with a black catch sleeping on the keyboard, its paw on the laptop screen

Cat and its human
solve all of life’s conundrums
just scratching at screens

Humid

Photo of the early orange colours of the sunrise behind tropical trees.

Four o’clock sunrises:
fogging up my camera,
Brisbane humid air.
