Sides

Photo of a fern plant with vibrant green leaves, and one leaf flipped over and silvery white.

Stays hidden mostly,
another side of ourselves;
a gale hits, leaf flips.

Halo

Photo of a large tree in the morning, with the sun forming a halo behind its top edge.

Majestically
cypress glows in the morning
sun as her halo.

Social

Photo of a bee on a bunch of flowers.

Master networker;
busily the bee buzzes
flowers become friends.

Grow

Photo of the sunlight filtering through dense trees in a park.

Filtering through trees
sunlight shatters on the ground
life pipes up slowly

Slow life

photo of a main road in Auckland city on a cloudy Sunday morning, with two buses and very little traffic on the road

Winter storm rolls in;
sleepily our town awakes—
leaves fall unhurried.
