And then there was light

poetry posters on a black wall with the sunlight reflect on them creating a rainbow effect

A rainbow of life,
raining light upon mortals:
poetic city.

As part of the Poetic City festival in Canberra, we had a workshop of poetry-poster making and pasting up on a prominent wall in the heart of the city. The perfect act of rebellion—completely legal, of course.

Two years

Two years—

Since I last saw my parents in the flesh.

Since I took my first photo of Autumn leaves.

Since I registered for a library membership card.

Since I told myself my future’s changed for the better.

Two years—

Since I started living with truly multi-cultural housemates.

Since I rolled my eyes at the seven types of tinned tomatoes.

Since I learnt that using three onions for every meal is a luxury.

Since I realised the grass isn’t greener on the other side.

Two years—

Since I considered my creative writing seriously.

Since I began pursuing my own twisted path.

Since I appreciated currency conversions.

Since I left India and landed in Canberra.

Needy

tall trees, some with green leaves - photo taken from below to accenuate the height of the trees

Seeking attention,
standing tall, holding their ground,
adult children; trees.

Keep growing

The Ovolo Nishi hotel in Canberra - plants growing on its facade - a conscious architectural design

Reclaiming their space,
forests we felled find their way,
thriving on facades.

Change

a tree with reddish leaves starting to appear, in the beginning of autumn, Canberra

A blush emerges;
expecting, the bearers seek,
radiant future.
