Play

Photo of the deep colours of sunrise, moments before sunrise.

Smearing of orange
staining all of horizon
sunrise is child’s play

Magnificent

Photo of the setting sun just visible from the top of a hilly road, looking down on the ocean.

Magnificent sun
watching over our city
photographer clicks

Photo of the city of Auckland at sunrise,in the distance, as seen from the Devonport shore.

Sun shines on my desk
a city in the distance
I will be here, free

Glassy

Photo of the sunrise reflecting on glassy, ocean waves.

Broken shards of glass
sun rises, catching the cracks—
short, sharp morning waves.

Rise

Photo of the sun rising on a winter day, over the beach the sea shells glinting in the light.

Heavy fog rises
fireball erupts in the sky
tiny shells sparkle
