Ancient

photo of a eucalyptus tree bark

Old, spotted, wrinkled—
testament to life well lived,
grand dad eucalypt.

Busy bees

Always on the go,
looking yet never seeing—
the human lifestyle.

Treat

full moon on a clear sky, as seen through tree branches

Pearl of the ocean,
treating gazers with its grace—
full moon in the sky.

Dilemma

a footpath in a park, surrounded by green and early-autumn trees, Launceston, Tasmania — Punchbowl Reserve, Launceston, Tasmania

Mildly-trodden path
calls me to a promised land—
to go or stay, awed?

Sight to behold

Basking in sunshine,
showing off to greedy world—
strawberry bushes.
