Light show

Photo of the sun rising in the horizon, as seen through the glass windows of the airport, with the ceiling lights reflecting on the glass.

The morning light show—
natural and the other
melding into one.

Competition

photo of a row of tall trees on the right side of the photo and a couple of light poles on the left

Light poles and tall trees,
competing for attention,
spotlight each other.

Brave

photo of a palm tree as seen from below on a sunny, cloudless afternoon

Tall and spiky palm—
she’s not a Disney princess,
Brave nevertheless.

Rough

Photo of the hilly and rocky landscape of South Australia as seen from a Qantas aircraft, with the wing of the Abe visible on the photo.

Pockmarked and freckled,
rough around the edges: earth;
imperfect is life.

Cherry

photo of a bush with pink flowers on them, and Rangitoto Island and the ocean in the background

Fifty shades of green—
as far as the eye could see,
pink cherry on top.
