Food machine

Close up photo of a puppy looking longingly at the photographer’s hand, which is out of the frame, but holding a piece of cracker.

Eyes full of longing
every dog yearns for some love
shaped like a biscuit.

Investment

Photo of stairs leading up a mountain, with luscious plants on either side.

Climb every mountain,
chase your rainbows, high and low;
strap on sturdy shoes.

Kid

Photo of a group of goats standing atop a mountain, feasting on tree saplings on the mountain.

Kids on a mountain,
snapping tree saplings in half;
mischievous is youth.

Windsurfer

Photo of a windsurfer with Rangitoto Island in the background.

Catching gentle winds
says hello to seagull friends
expert windsurfer.

River

From up in the sky
like the limbs of the lazy,
stretches our river.
