Insomniac

Photo of the moon nestled between the branches of leafless trees, se against a vibrant blue sky.

Sky brings on the blues
not a single cloud in sight
insomniac moon

Trees

Photo of a row of large leafless trees by the footpath in a park, photographed before sunrise.

Giant-limbed monsters
early mornings in the park
terrified of trees.

Try hard

Photo of a suburban street with green native trees and a single deciduous tree with vibrant red leaves.

People try too hard
to stand out from the others
unlike autumn trees

Not Michaelangelo

Photo of the branches of two trees on either side of a suburban street lean in and touch each other.

Divine breath of life
branches touching each other
invaluable

Old

Photo of a branch of dried up, shrivelling fern leaves.

Drying up fern leaves
browning, crumbling, shrivelling
old age comes to all
