Independent

silhouette of a leafless tree by the lake, with the pink of sunrise in the horizon behind it

Standing all alone
she’s strong and independent
a tree by the lake.

Question

Photo of a street light with a as witch’s hat on it.

What’s the point of life
if you’re lighting others’ paths
yet not lighthearted?

Hail

Photo of the sun, just after sunrise with the cranes from two construction sites turned towards east, at the sun.

Crisp autumn morning:
city under construction—
all cranes hail the sun.

Winter is coming

photo of the pre-sunrise glow in the horizon, as seen from King's Park in Perth with the ocean visible

Gently a breeze blows,
creates waves on the ocean—
a city shivers.

Dance

Photo of a leafless tree, with the early sunrise colours in the backdrop.

Wind scattering clouds,
like dancing stick figurines—
bony-limbed old tree.
