Good effort

Photo of a grey and cloudy sky with the sun mildly filtering through.

Showcases valiance,
winter sun amidst first rains,
attempting freedom.

Chill

Close up photo of the fruits of a jacaranda tree, hanging in a wire fence, like Christmas baubles on a tree.

Baubles on a fence
feeling the chill in the air
it’s Christmas in May.

Endurance

Close up photo of a sunflower clops on, its petals starting to open.

Attempting to bloom,
spring putting on a brave face,
for winter’s last week.

Outside

close up photo of the dew drops on a broccoli leaf

I boldly venture;
dew drops on my broccoli leaves,
winter lingers on.

Watch

Photo of the sun setting behind a group of trees, as seen through a window.

Peeking through bare trees,
an eye in the horizon—
tiredly the sun sets.
