Changeable

close up photo of an African daisy flower

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.

Happy

photo of the afternoon sun filtering through a giant gum tree

Permeates through leaves,
nature’s antidepressant:
afternoon sunlight.

Goodbye

Close up photo of a flower with dried and crumbling petals.

Sorry you’re dying
beautiful little flower;
say hi to my mum.

Blur

Photo of the rain drops on an airplane window with the ground, wings, and lights in the background, blurry.

On, we yearn to fly,
our pasts are a bit blurry;
rain drops on windows.
