Tired

photo of a leaf-less tree against a dark, cloudy sky in the background

Exhausted limbs stretch,
yawning at wintery skies;
humans and bare trees.

Moonbeam

photo of the full moon against the blue of the pre-sunrise sky, with a house and front yard in the foreground

Drop in an ocean:
blue sky illuminated;
moon, before sunrise.

Work

Photo of a road with few vehicles and autumnal trees shedding leaves.

Leaves crunch underfoot,
straight, smooth, auto-mated roads;
a winter commute.

Rise up

photo of Lake Monger in Perth, with the sun just bout to rise on the horizon

Peaceful water’s edge,
creeping towards the morning—
winter sun blushes.

Weed

Boomers of gardens;
weeds of all shapes and sizes—
there’s not mushroom left.
