Frangipani, Brisbane, Queensland.

I have collected together a few shorter pieces that I've decided to put here on a page, they include free verse and some haiku. All have been previously published before on my Instagram page or by the Deakin Writers Club, earlier on this year.

They are presented to you, in alphabetical order.

Hibiscus heaven

Hibiscus heaven,

In the botanic gardens,

Echoes of childhood.

The haiku written on a picture a hibiscus flower, Royal Botanical Gardens, Brisbane, Queensland.

As previously published by me, on Instagram.

Indelible

He was as indelible to her,

As the ink on her skin.

He was her grace, or

He gave it back to her.

As previously published by Deakin Writers Club on Facebook and Instagram.

Jacaranda blooms

Jacaranda blooms,

Everywhere there is purple,

Carpeting the ground.

Jacaranda trees in flower, Brisbane, Queensland.

As previously published by me, on Instagram.

Vines are strangling

In the rainforest,

Layers of green all around,

Vines are strangling trees.

The haiku written on a picture of the rainforest, O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat, Queensland.

As previously published by me, on Instagram.

I hope you enjoyed these short and sweet poems of mine.

Light, love
