Blossom

close up photo of a pink rose with the deep blue-pink of the sunset in the background

Swallowing the sun,
the night creeps over our homes,
a new rose blushes.

Intricate metal,
stretched across the horizon,
of concrete jungle.

Native

photo of a Moreton Bay fig tree and its widespread roots — Moreton Bay fig or Moraceae, a species of trees endemic to eastern Australia

Engulfing the earth,
casting its roots far and wide,
native tree reclaims.

Showoff

With renewed vigour,
flaunts its luscious head of hair—
gumtree after storm.

Old

close up photo of decaying daisies in the bush with fresh daisies around it

Destroying itself,
feeds the next generation—
a week-old flower.
