A fallen soldier,
looking up to the others,
hoping, autumn leaf.

Macquarie House in Launceston, Tasmania — Macquarie House, Launceston, Tasmania

Modern architect
colouring outside the lines—
quirky old buildings.

Calm

clouds gathering around an afternoon sun

Cloudy gathering—
shadows in the horizon,
a mellowed sunset.

Day-to-day

leafless tree against a black sky illuminated by a street light

Tethered to one place,
diligently spreading light—
Mother Earth’s routine.

Ageing gracefully

Spiky surface hairs,
characteristic of age—
humans are food too.
