Prick

close up photo of the spikes of a cactus

Painful pricks cacti—
defence against the dark arts;
beauty of self-care.

Laze

photo of a golden retreiver sitting on a couch and looking over the back at the photographer, with only the dog's face visible

Saturday mornings,
you barely open your eyes;
true love wants a walk

Wake

photo of the pre dawn colours in the sky, with a few trees silhouetted

Silhouetted trees,
butter yellows, baby pinks,
sunrise; brave new world.

A hit

Close up photo of a barista style coffee in a wide white cup.

Expecting a jolt,
I gaze into the abyss;
beautiful coffee.

Folds

close up photo of a bunch of bougainvillea on the plant

Folded up petals,
origami in nature;
bougainvillea.
