Curveballs

Photo of the Auckland city as seen from the top of One Tree Hill.

Life throws curveballs;
from the top of a mountain,
no problem is big.

Halo

Photo of a large tree in the morning, with the sun forming a halo behind its top edge.

Majestically
cypress glows in the morning
sun as her halo.

Oldies

Photo of a row of deciduous trees with golden-yellow leaves, outside a hospice.

Trees in transition:
shedding weight, going golden,
outside the hospice,

Grow

Photo of the sunlight filtering through dense trees in a park.

Filtering through trees
sunlight shatters on the ground
life pipes up slowly

Autumn tree

Photo of a large deciduous tree full of brown leaves and some scattered on the ground.

In her golden age
flaunts her style confidently—
deciduous tree.
