Codependency

close up photo of a leaf on a fern

Codependent leaves
supporting one another—
dying together.

Bee

Close up photo of a bee in a bunch of flowers.

Flower to flower
tramping, finding her own feet,
young bee loves her life.

Ageing

close up photo of a frond of a fern, partly dried and shrivelled while the rest of the frond is lush and green

Those tiny grey hairs;
ancient ferns, shrivelling fronds,
gracefully ageing

Modern

Photo of a cypress tree on a cliff, its side containing a lot less leaves than its top and back.

The modern mullet:
shorter sides, long backs, no tail;
cypress on a cliff.

Wave

close up photo of a bunch pink lillies by the sidewalk

A pop of colour—
lilies along the sidewalk,
waving to strangers.
