Blush

Photo of a high rise building with the setting sun’s light reflecting on it.

Cold concrete blushes;
with a light kiss on the face
the sun bids farewell.

Autumn tree

Photo of a large deciduous tree full of brown leaves and some scattered on the ground.

In her golden age
flaunts her style confidently—
deciduous tree.

Sharing

Photo of a fern drowning on the bark of an old tree.

In symbiosis
sharing knowledge and life breath
Mum and epiphyte

Morning fog

Photo of a suburban street on a heavily foggy late-autumn morning.

No one’s wandering
a pall descends over head
winter is coming.

Treasure

Photo of a row of deciduous trees at sunset, with golden brown leaves. There are also heaps of leaves scattered in the lush green grass.

Time of the gold rush:
treasure drops from city trees,
Auckland in autumn.
