poem
you just walk along
and beneath you
a much lower
groundwater level
a strong branch
of this tall tree
could hurt you
this tree told you a lot
this tree begged
now long intervals
between its whisper
(AW, Aug 2026)
haiku
summer sounds
the night's hum
of insects and tech
August heat
again too tired
to do all chores
favourite colour
washing raspberries
in a colander
(AW, July 2026)
after watering
an urban tree
does send good vibes
the rain
after the drought
will people know
that this very rain
saved them
and will people
trust these trees
that they will do
their thing
with this rain
calls of a bird of prey
from this summer sky
which does need clouds
an unexpected
cool breeze
a GO ON from the universe
