Overtaken

photo of a valley full of the garden weed, sorrel, with large native trees in the background

Colonised by weeds,
a country of native green,
stripped of its riches.

Enjoy the sun

photo of the sunset in the horizon and a single coconut tree standing tall with smalller houses around it

Single coconut,
staring at springtime sunsets,
dancing to the wind.

Sidewalk

closeup photo of an iris by a train station

Train stop irises—
a teardrop in the ocean,
look, but never see.

Journey

Ambitious rocket
snails towards destination,
readying for launch.

Expectation

photo of the setting sun causing deep orange and pink shades in the sky, with old houses silhouetted

Orange horizon:
dying day rekindles hope,
our future looks bright.
