Pearls

Close up photo of a flowering wattle bush on the ground.

Scattered on the ground:
pearls of a precious lady;
wattle of this land.

Joy

Photo of a wattle tree’s branch leaning into a walking track.

Little yellow bulbs,
lean into my walking track,
remind me to spring.

Springtime

Close up photo of wattle flowers on a bush. — Australia’s national flower, the Golden Wattle.

The air is warmer,
itchy noses are running;
spring’s good rush is here.

Bursting

At first sight of warmth,
wattle pops in full colour—
bursting into song.
