Twisty

Photo of a row of large leafless trees extending across a walking path in a park.

Waving twisty limbs
in my park, casting magic—
deciduous trees.

Blur

Photo of the Sky Tower as seen across Victoria Park in Auckland City, the top of the tower shrouded by fog.

Blurry on the edge
waking on Wednesday mornings
classic hangover

Try

Photo of a weak sun through the branches of a leafless tree.

Winter’s a tough time
we are all doing our best
even the weak sun

Brave

photo of a tall deciduous tree, with most of its leaves on the ground below it and a few clinging on to the branches

Shedding its armour
mighty tree faces winter
brave comes in all shapes

Morning fog

Photo of a suburban street on a heavily foggy late-autumn morning.

No one’s wandering
a pall descends over head
winter is coming.
