Paying forward

Photo of a wooden bench with a flower tree above it, in full bloom.

On a warm spring day
raining flowers down on me—
stranger-planted tree.

Dress up

Photo of a giant Santa Claus statue erected on the Federal Hall building in Adelaide, an annual tradition.

Merrily goodbye
farewelling the year gone by—
depressed Santa Claus.

Painting

Close up photo of a lace bark tree flower on the ground, amongst dry leaves.

Mimics a painting:
watercolours on canvas;
pink flower on leaves.

Edit

Photo of a massive old tree with the summer sun falling on its trunk and canopy on a hot, blue-sky day.

High contrast; high warmth
the imperfect editor:
summer shines on trees.

Bound together

Close up photo of a peg on a clothes line, with a spider’s web around it, with the sun setting behind the pen and the web.

Peg on a clothes line;
invisible webmaster—
cohabitation.
