Cabbage

Photograph of alternating rows of wild cabbages and bright yellow flowers.

Rows of wild cabbage,
sitting ducks on a spring day—
to watch; not to touch.

Gentle

Rangitoto Island, as seen from Mt. Eden summit.

Faraway island,
stretches on the ocean bed,
gently rocking waves.

Dreamer

Photo of a gnarly old pepper tree with a twisted trunk.

Twisting on itself
the magic faraway tree,
poses for dreamers.

Contrasts

Close up photo of a bunch of purple flowers.

A common genus
of plants with purple flowers—
the rarest colour.

Slow day

Photo of a tall leafless tree from atop a mountain on a grey, cloudy day.

Stretching lazily,
not quite springing out of bed:
old trees; cloudy days.
