Leafless

Photo of a row of leafless trees in a park as seen through the window of a bus.

Long and lanky ghosts
standing still outside my bus
brittle and leafless

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
