Festive

Photo of a Pōhutakawa tree.

Pōhutakawa:
every day feels like Christmas,
walking tree-lined streets.

Hole

Photo of the pinkish sky just after sunset, visible through the arches of a building.

A hole in the wall,
a whole horizon peeks through—
someone notices.

Investment

Photo of stairs leading up a mountain, with luscious plants on either side.

Climb every mountain,
chase your rainbows, high and low;
strap on sturdy shoes.

Uprising

photo of white clouds under a plane's wing, as seen from the window of the plane

Turbulent journey;
backbone of the uprising:
a billowing cloud.

Kid

Photo of a group of goats standing atop a mountain, feasting on tree saplings on the mountain.

Kids on a mountain,
snapping tree saplings in half;
mischievous is youth.
