Seasons

Close up photo of a wattle tree branch and the winter afternoon sun filtering through it.

Filters through dense fog:
little rebel winter sun,
springs into wattle.

Party trick

Photo of a chandelier style ceiling light, casting its shadows on the ceiling.

Vintage chandelier,
charming a new audience—
throwing globes around.

Changeable

Walking down the street,
it springs up unexpected—
seasons change so soon.

Happy

photo of the afternoon sun filtering through a giant gum tree

Permeates through leaves,
nature’s antidepressant:
afternoon sunlight.

Goodbye

Close up photo of a flower with dried and crumbling petals.

Sorry you’re dying
beautiful little flower;
say hi to my mum.
