Destroyer

Fighter plane on display at the National Museum of Australia — National Museum of Australia

Cuts the atmosphere,
blazing through clouds in its way—
bushfire in the sky.

Shady

Shady footpath

Slicing through the light,
casting shadows on my path,
many shades of green.

Prevail

Graffiti in Melbourne

Victory trickles,
on pavements, on alleyways—
one love emerges.

Graffiti in Canberra — “Poetry must be made by all, not by one.” | Canberra

Layperson’s refuge;
and learned’s weapon of choice,
poetry is life.

Tutor bird

Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney

Pick about and poke—
curiosity isn’t sin;
seekers are finders.
