Sunning

Photo of a row of leafless trees on the side of the road, on a partly cloudy day.

Warming their bare wings,
deciduous trees line up—
late-winter sunshine.

Seasons

Close up photo of a wattle tree branch and the winter afternoon sun filtering through it.

Filters through dense fog:
little rebel winter sun,
springs into wattle.

Party trick

Photo of a chandelier style ceiling light, casting its shadows on the ceiling.

Vintage chandelier,
charming a new audience—
throwing globes around.

Changeable

Walking down the street,
it springs up unexpected—
seasons change so soon.

Springtime

Close up photo of wattle flowers on a bush. — Australia’s national flower, the Golden Wattle.

The air is warmer,
itchy noses are running;
spring’s good rush is here.
