Ghost fog

Photo of Auckland city high rise buildings clouded in fog just after rain.

The foggy monster
swallows high-rises wholly—
seasonal weather.

Sunny spot

Close up photo of being yellow flowers on Mount Wellington.

Undisturbed flower
in a volcanic crater
where the sun shines bright.

Tree stance

Close up photo of the base of a tree’s trunk, its stretches visible.

Stretch marks on her trunk:
rewards of rearing the young;
mama stands proudly.

Walk

Photo of a large leafless tree on a cloudy day.

Big trees come alive
caffeinated by the wind
a spring afternoon.

Magic

Photo of a boardwalk and a path on a mountain with flowering trees on either side of it.

A secret walkway
nestled deep in a mountain—
my magical aisle.
